Resetting the Sync Folder to the default folder
If you are currently syncing your preferences, you may want to stop syncing and make your preferences local again.
This is currently a manual, but relatively simple process:
- Locate your synced
Alfred.alfredpreferences
package by navigating to it in Finder, or using the Preferences > Advanced > Syncing > Reveal in Finder button. - Quit Alfred from either the Alfred hat in the macOS menu bar, or the Quit Alfred button in Alfred's General preferences.
- Move
Alfred.alfredpreferences
file to~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/
in your home folder. If there is already an alfredpreferences file in this location, it may be a barebones or previous preferences file from before configuring Sync. Temporarily backup this old preferences package. - Delete
~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred/prefs.json
which resets where Alfred looks for the preferences. - Restart Alfred and check your preferences are as expected. Also check that the Preferences > Advanced > Syncing setting reads "Not Synced".
