Install

iCloud / OneDrive / Dropbox Users:

For EKlecticSong to function properly, the data must be actually stored locally. So these services must be configured to always save the EKlecticSong folder on the local hard disk.

• macOS iCloud users:
  • Right-click on the EKlecticSong folder (usually located in Documents), and choose "Keep Downloaded"
• Other cloud drive providers (i.e. OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.):
  • Please configure your cloud software to ensure that the EKlecticSong folder is always available on the local desktop hard disk.
