How to switch file to sync on Android (forth and back)?

[Gustav Wikström]

Hi!

I was wondering if there is any way to quickly switch files to sync on the Android client?

Let's say I have two files on the cloud sync service. On my Android device I've connected one of them. Now I want to take a quick look at the other one. How do I do it?!

The emphasis is on quick switching between them. For this example, let's say I'm mostly within one of them but occationally need to look at the other one and make some changes.

Best regards

Gustav

Hi, Gustav. Here is what I would do:
1. Create a second profile (the "+" icon on the settings>profile page)
2. Switch to the second profile and set it up to sync with the "other" cloud file and let it fully sync.
3. Switch back to your primary profile. When you want to look at the other cloud file, switch to the second profile and when you are done, switch back.

Notes
A. When you switch to the second profile, if there have been a lot of changes since the last time you loaded it,  you may have to wait a half minute or so to let it sync.
B. For super fast switching, set up two MLO widgets side by side, and point each one to one of the profiles. You now have a page that shows you both cloud files at once. Hit the three-dot icon at the top left of the widget and select "run mlo app" to expand from the widget to the full app for the selected profile
C. I sense that you are considering having a single profile that will switch back and forth between two cloud files. DON'T DO IT! This would result in merging the two cloud files together and then syncing the nerged profile with both cloud files so you will end up with one profile and two cloud files all containing a merged file with all the tasks from both original cloud files.

Hi Dwight!

Thanks for your thorough answer! This solved my problem, and the part about the widgets is very clever.

I also was a bit worried if notifications from both my files would trigger on the phone but as far as I can see that too works as it should. Great! Now my concern is shifted towards how quickly and how often both profiles update in the background. But that is a separate issue and I don't expect a respons here.

Thanks again, and regards
Gustav
