Is there anyway to export/import all alfred configuration ?

I want to export all alfred 3 configurations to hard driver, or import it from hard driver.

For some reason use DropBox to sync configurations is unavailable for me, so is there anyway to deal with it ?

Configurations include all item in preference.

Solution

  • Sync Your Preferences

    Alfred 3 on macOS

    The Advanced tab is where you set the location to which Alfred preferences will be saved. Whilst they recommend a cloud service, and in particular Dropbox (I've no idea why Dropbox would be especially superior), you can choose any cloud service you like (that has a locally accessible shared folder on your computer); or you can just choose an ordinary local folder that isn't stored in the cloud.

    I, personally, use my iCloud folder to store the preferences in.

    Just have a read of the description I've drawn a pink rectangle around, and make sure you understand what is happening. But it's pretty straight forward.

    Importing Preferences

    Generally, if your preferences are synced, they won't need to be re-imported. But if you do need to for any reason, just locate the preferences file which looks like this:

    Alfred Preferences File

    and double-click. It will automatically open in Alfred and the new preferences will take immediate effect.
