Syncing Tags through Google Drive Stream

Post by zombieMo »

I absolutely love XYplorer but am having trouble configuring it to my specific needs: I am an advertiser working partly in an office and partly from home. I share all my files through a Google Drive. I need XYplorer to be able to sync 'tag.dat' info across these two computers. I don't necessarily need them to sync in real-time as I could manually update them on a weekly basis.

Currently I have the XYplorer installation folder sitting in my google drive. I have the tags storage set to 'relative to application'. (side note: this setting keeps resetting to 'relative to tag database') I have tried to manually take my office 'tag.dat' and replace the home 'tag.dat' With this method the tags list updates but the tagged files do not. I suspect I am doing something wrong.

Am I on the right track or is what I am trying to do not possible?

On Tabbles they have a feature that allows you to share tags through a google drive Stream. You select a letter on both machines and tags are automatically synced. Is there anything like this for XYplorer?

Thanks in advance.

Show the content of both your work and home tag.dat files (after the "Data:" line)
The first 5 lines should be sufficient
