II. Save to Cloud Storage

Best for: When you need continuous online backup and real-time (dependent on internet speed) sharing of data across different locations.

Using cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive allows for automatic syncing of your files between devices (click on the link at the bottom of this article to see how to specify your settings location).

1. Save your MaxCut library and materials in a folder within your cloud storage service. The files are saved in the following location by default:
   

   C:\ProgramData\MaxCut Software\MaxCut

2. Install the cloud storage app on all your computers.
3. Your files will automatically sync, ensuring you always have the latest version.
4. Adjust your MaxCut data and settings location (click on the link at the bottom of this article to see how)

III. Save to a Shared Folder or Network

Best for: Offices or workshops with multiple users, where changes need to be reflected soon after they are saved. This setup allows centralized control with fast distribution to other users.

If your computers are connected to the same network, you can store your MaxCut library and materials in a shared folder or on a network drive.

1. Save your files to a folder that can be accessed by all the computers on the network.
2. Ensure that all devices are connected to the network and have permissions to access the shared folder.
3. Adjust your MaxCut settings location (click on the link at the bottom of this article to see how)
