Sync vs share — which should I use?
Sync moves a profile's login to your own other devices; sharing gives a paid teammate temporary Launch access.
Sync and sharing both move a profile's login around, but they solve different problems. Sync is for you across your own devices; sharing is for giving someone else temporary access. This article helps you pick the right one.
In short: use Sync to keep yourself logged in everywhere, and use sharing to hand a profile to a paid teammate for a set time.
Use Sync when it's your own account
Sync now saves the profile to the cloud and publishes its current site login. Launch that same profile on any other computer signed in with the same account, and it opens already logged in — no re-typing the password. Most-recent-Sync-wins, and only the profile's main-site login travels (a few KB), so it's near-instant.
- Moving between your own laptop and desktop.
- Keeping a profile logged in for run-in-cloud (a synced profile keeps its fingerprint and proxy when run on Sendwin's EU/US servers).
- Syncing quota: 20 synced profiles on Pro, 100 on Team — encrypted on your device before upload.
Use profile sharing when it's someone else
Profile sharing gives a paid teammate temporary Launch access to a synced profile, opening with your current login until an expiry you set (a preset from 15 minutes up to 30 days). It's paid-to-paid only — a Free recipient sees an upgrade prompt. Recipients can't edit, delete or re-share, and you can cancel anytime.
And cloud session sharing for a live browser
There's a third option: cloud session sharing hands a *running* cloud session to another paid user (Pro shares 20, Team 50). They open the same live browser in their own tab, already signed in — handy for real-time collaboration on one session rather than lending a whole profile. Like profile sharing, it is paid-to-paid — the person you share with must be on a paid plan.
Note
Rule of thumb: same account, different device → Sync. Different person, time-boxed → share a profile. Same live browser, right now → cloud session sharing.
