I have seen articles on how to sync export Views from Windows to android but nothing about from Android to Windows

I saved an Android backup but it's called mlobac and that file type isn't supported by Windows.

I have cloud sync.

I don't have Android, but I assume that the process is similar to the iOS version, which does it this way:

  1. On your phone version of MLO, slide the outline right to open up the list of views
  2. Tap "Edit" (bottom-left of the screen)
  3. Tap "Multiselect" (top-right of the screen)
  4. Select your view and then tap "Export" (bottom of the screen)
  5. The view is exported as a .mfv file
  6. Transfer the file to your Windows PC.
  7. In the Windows desktop version of MLO, select Alt-F1 to open the filters and views pane, if it's not already visible
  8. Make sure you have the list of views visible, rather than the filter detail (which opens up from the bottom of the pane)
  9. Click on the settings cogwheel in the Views heading line, then select "Import view(s)..."
  10. Browse for your .mfv file and import it
  11. The custom view from your mobile version should now be available to use in your desktop version
I hope they've been consistent and the Android version exports in the same way...

Regards,
Stéphane

I'm using a beta version of Android so there may be some differences but on my phone everything is as you documented, except replace steps 3 and 4 with

3. Long-tap the view(s) you want to export in order to select them

4. Tap the three-dots icon at the top right to bring up a menu, then tap "Export"
