The macOS dialog has the same options as Windows, without section headings, with these differences:

  • There's no Theme option. Rhino Sync follows Rhino's appearance.

  • There's no speed box.

Click OK to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.

User name rules

  • Use letters, numbers and spaces only.

  • Use a name nobody else in the team uses. Two people with the same name can't be in a session at the same time.

  • You can't change your user name while any model is collaborating. End collaboration first.

By default, Rhino Sync uses your Windows or macOS account name.

This option belongs to the session, not to you. When you change it, it changes for everyone collaborating on the central file.

Cloud storage sign-out

After you sign out, the next collaboration on that service asks you to sign in again.
