Sincronizar as definições de software entre computadores

Muitas pessoas trabalham habitualmente em mais do que um computador. Existem vários cenários onde isto se pode acontecer, nomeadamente quando um pessoa usa um portátil e um computador fixo, for exemplo. Neste caso, pode ser útil sincronizar as definições e personalizações de todos ou parte das aplicações entres os diferentes equipamentos. .

O Mackup é um software gratuito disponibilizado no GitHub por Laurent Raufaste e permite sincronizar esses ficheiros entre equipamentos correndo macOS ou Linux.

Lista de softwares compatíveis

O Mackup permite a sincronização das definições de uma longa lista de programas suportados. No entanto, existem também formas de manualmente definir o caminho de certos ficheiros de preferências e, dessa forma, adicionar suporta manual para um determinado programa que não consta da lista abaixo.

Clouds para sincronização

A sincronização dos ficheiros de preferências requer o uso de um sistema cloud como o Dropbox, Google Drive, Copy, iCloud ou outros serviços como o Git.

Esta pode ser uma excelente ferramenta para quem necessita de usar os meus programas em mais do que um computador. Habitualmente isso requererá a configuração das definições de cada software individualmente para cada computador usado.
