Is cross-device sync possible?

Hey, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, Cursor chat history is currently stored locally on each machine and isn’t synced via the cloud. It’s one of the most requested features.

Current options:

  1. For syncing code, use the Remote SSH extension. Connect to the same server from different devices, and your code and files will be shared. Guide: Sync global rules - AND CHATS! - #4 by mikes-bowden

  2. For chat history via Dropbox/iCloud (advanced option):

  • Chat history is stored here: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
  • You can move the workspaceStorage folder into Dropbox and create a symlink:
  # Move the folder to Dropbox
  mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage ~/Dropbox/CursorSync/

  # Create a symlink
  ln -s ~/Dropbox/CursorSync/workspaceStorage ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage

The team is considering building a native sync solution.
