Setup Notepad++ with cloud syncing?

Peter Okorn

Sorry for replying to this topic, I know it is quite old.
I use cloud setting in Notepad++ to sync my notes between computers. Is there any way or client to view and edit these notes on iOS (iPhone)?

Thank you so much

@Peter-Okorn Peter, are you able to use data from a computer to another using Notepad++ cloud? I’m trying but the only thing it does is save the data from computer A on computer A but ate the computer B I cannot retrieve it.
Someone know how to do that?

Anyone knows how I can sync between devices?

@Erlend-Svendsen

What exactly do you want to sync?
Your npp configuration?
Your files created/modified by npp?
Something else?
Where are the devices located?
Different OS in place?

@Ekopalypse , I would like to say,
I want to sync opened tabs and data inside those tabs.
Let say, On one PC, i have notepad++ opened, file1.txt, file2.xyz,new 1, new 3 and now if I go to another PC, and open the notepad++, It should have all those tabs.

Hello @Chintan-Bhatt,

Currently only settings can be saved in the cloud path.
But let me think if there is a way to make npp think that it is started from the cloud path to load and save the session.xml accordingly.

I agree, I came here looking for this feature. It would be great if it gets implemented! Thanks

@________ And same here. It would be really great to have the session synchronized from the Cloud path. Fingers crossed!

@Pim-x ,

Something that no one adding their “me too” to this discussion seems to have understood: this Forum is a Community of Notepad++ Users, not the developers. Since the last time this topic was active, the Please Read Before Posting was added to help explain this, and that post links to the FAQ: Feature Request and Bug Report which for the last three years has explained the details of where and how to make a feature request (which, spoiler alert, is not in this Community Forum, and especially not in this four-year-old discussion).

Since the “Cloud” settings aren’t quite enough for you (since it doesn’t move session.xml), then you should read about Config Files Location and try using the -settingsDir command line option, and see if that will sync enough.

And if it doesn’t sync enough, then you can just unzip the portable edition into your cloud folder, and that way your entire Notepad++ – executables, plugins, and settings – will be synced across the cloud, which guarantees that all your settings and sessions will be the same across computers.

@Pim-x same! - I think it would be huge to allow either adding this feature - it’s not like they couldn’t even let the burden of storage fall on a user’s OneDrive or GoogleDrive or DropBox or something - but at least let us point to a data store for our open tabs/files/etc.
