How to Synchronize Your Cyclonis Password Manager Vault Across All Your Devices
Cyclonis Password Manager gives you great flexibility when it comes to the management of your encrypted vault. You can access your data from as many supported devices as you want. In order to do so, you will need to make sure that your personal vault is hosted using a supported cloud storage option (Dropbox, Google Drive, Apple iCloud, and Microsoft OneDrive). Every time you make a change to your account or website information, it is synced to your vault. Additionally, Cyclonis Password Manager automatically syncs your data periodically. Keep in mind that Cyclonis Password Manager WILL NOT automatically sync your data across multiple devices if you select the local storage option.
If you wish to change the option of storing your vault locally on your device and take full advantage of Cyclonis Password Manager's multiple device synchronization features, follow the instructions below.
