[MLO] What's the difference between WIFI Sync and Cloud Sync?

[i***@gmail.com]

Well, this might be a silly questions. LOL

Does WIFI Sync means, my MLO will sync as long as I got WIFI?

Cloud Sync means that even if there is no WIFI, my MLO on difference device
can still Sync?

Could anybody help?

Thanks!

WiFi sync is effectively client-to-client local sync only. It doesn't
require internet connection as you effectively mirror the database contents
on two devices.Obviously it also means that those two devices need to be in
the same WiFi network. That way you can e.g. sync your mobile with your PC
being at home. However, the moment you leave home, you can't sync it
anymore as you're getting out of your WiFi network range.
Yet, if you want to be able to sync your MLO files wherever you are (well,
any place with internet connection available), then you need a cloud sync,
as in that solution sync is run over the web.
Hope it's clear :).

The issue about synching from different locations is an important one;
another is synching at different times. Suppose you wake up realizing
something that you need to do. Your mobile is by your bed, you quickly add
the task and go back to sleep. The mobile will sync to the cloud by itself,
right now if it has Internet connection, or as soon as it sees the
internet. When you power on the PC in the morning it will sync and your new
task will be there. With wifi sync you have to wait until the morning when
both devices are up and wifi connected and then you can synch.

Advice, if the cost of the cloud sync is not a problem for you, get it, it
makes things easier. If the cost is an issue, then start with wifi and if
you find it inconvenient or annoying try the cloud

Just to add that the WiFi sync only works with only two devices that you
have to couple in advance. Cloud sync does not have this limit.
