Setting up eWallet's cloud sync on Windows

Last Updated:

eWallet® for Windows includes a synchronization engine called SyncPro® that allows syncing between a master cloud wallet and a local wallet. Need help setting up sync for the first time? You’ve come to the right place!

This article includes written steps in addition to two short videos: one covers starting with a cloud wallet, while the other covers starting with a local wallet. Note that this information is also included in eWallet’s built-in help documentation, which you can get to from the Help Center (? at the top right corner of eWallet’s main window).

You’ll need eWallet for Windows, version 8.5.8 or newer to use eWallet’s SyncPro® cloud sync with the latest version of Dropbox services. You’ll need version 8.10 or newer to use Google Drive services, and version 8.11 or newer to use Microsoft OneDrive services.
