Use more than one computer

Sign in on each computer separately. Work from all of them lands in the same account. To see every computer connected to your account, open Settings → Devices in the desktop app, or Settings → Desktop App on the web, where the list is under Connected Devices. You can sign out another computer from either list. To sign out the computer you’re using, go to Settings → General and select Sign out.

Sign in again

If the app shows Not signed in, select Sign in. Captured data waits on your computer until you do, then uploads. Data that can’t upload may be deleted from your computer after 7 days, or sooner if the backlog takes up too much space, so sign in again promptly.
