On Computer A, find the mysql folder and drag it to the site folder on the shared drive. But if you want to go farther and sync the databases automatically, as described by above, it’s a simple two-step process.ġ. Now, you could just stop here and sync the databases manually as I described in the previous post. If you’re not sure, go to your iCloud Drive at and do the file operations there. iCloud can be slow about file operations (see my caution above).
If you’re doing all this on iCloud be careful that the cloud is updated with all the file operations before you continue or you may find that your local files are being overwritten by older files not yet deleted from the cloud. If the existing site from computer A is not on the shared drive and you want to have a single shared site folder, then export the site on computer A to a zip file (right click the site in Local and choose "Export) and then reimport it with a site path on the shared drive (choose “Advanced Options” when you import the site). If you’ve already got a working site from computer A on the shared drive and you want to be able to access it from Computer B, then instead of deleting the site folder from Computer A, delete the one you’ve just created from Computer B and unhide the one from Computer A. You no longer need it because Local on both computers will use the same site folder on the shared drive (the one you created from Local on Computer B). Create a site in Local on Computer B, with the site path in exactly the same location as the site you created on Computer A. Hide the site folder that was just created by moving it inside another folder (or just delete it – see below). Create a site in Local on Computer A, with the site path on the shared drive. I began with an existing site folder that I was already sharing between two computers on a cloud drive (iCloud for now, although see my cautions about iCloud above). I did it a little bit differently on my setup, though. 
Okay! I’ve tried the database sync method described by above.
