Laragon is great but database sync would be nice

Ben Riv

Hi All,

I have Laragon installed on 2 windows machines, each time I go from one machine to the next and work on the same project, I pull my sourcetree files in Laragon but the databases are out of sync....

Is there a way to keep the databases in sync in Laragon?

Thank you.

Ben

@Ben-Riv : You just configure your DataDir to a DropBox/Google Drive/OneDrive folder in Menu > Preferences
That's it

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Superb!

I am experiencing a lot of issues by having the database in another synched folder(from sync.com)

Laravel, even with the right database connection refuses to create the tables. Any idea why?
It works when the data is outside the synched folder.

Thanks.

@Ben-Riv : The way database is managed is complicated because of ACID model. Why don't you try with DropBox?

I paid for sync.com, I love it. I tried drive, dropbox and onedrive, it is the only one that does not give me errors on long file names.

Now regarding the bug, I got it to work by opening Laragon with admin rights in windows. It then started to work as expected.

Thanks again.
