Synchronizing notes

When synchronizing notes to another computer, be aware that NV 2.0 maintains multiple files inside ~/Library/Application Support/Notational Data/; in addition to Notes & Settings, the directory contains an invisible write-ahead log file that stores changes not yet written to the database itself.

As a consequence, the entire Notational Data folder must be included to ensure consistency when synchronizing across copies.

If security is not a concern or a secure medium can be used, synchronization can be more granular if NV is configured to maintain notes as text files (Preferences > Notes > Storage). Note, however, that the entire Notational Data folder—not just the text files—must still be synchronized.
