I am brand new to FG, I run adventures on different computers sometimes on my desktop, other times on my MacBook. I know the files are saved locally how do sync them across devices?

Thanks

You can copy the campaign folders between machines, when you need to switch.

It is NOT recommended to use file synching on the FG data directory (i.e. OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.), because we have reports that FGC campaigns have gotten corrupted when FGC is running at the same time as the file synching software. We don't know if that's also an issue with FGU, so we still recommend a manual process when needed.

Run FG updates separately on each computer.
Then manually copy any custom data (campaigns, downloaded extensions, modules and portraits) between the two computers. Don't use any active cloud sync applications on your active FG data as this is known to corrupt the data.
