Sync does not sync record numbers

EndNote EndNote General
13

Thanks Leanne,

Your last comment about the cloud drive leads me to my last (maybe) question.

I have a single, large Endnote library that I do not share with anyone. However, I use it with 5 different PCs, depending on where I am. I like to have it on the HD of each computer. 

Basically, I see two options moving forward:

  1. I turn OFF Endnote’s syncing feature and put my library in a folder that IS synced with the same folder on my other PCs through a cloud drive service. That would keep the library synced across all devices, with matching record numbers, etc.

  2. I turn ON Endnote’s syncing feature and put my library in a folder NOT synced through my cloud drive service. This would also keep my library synced across all devices, but without matching record numbers, so I’d have to use your accession number strategy. 

#1 would be a bit less work. #2 would ensure I’ve got an up-to-date copy on Endnote’s server (which I rarely use, however). I’m leaning toward #1, but wondered if you’ve got any thoughts. 

Thanks!
