With the Finder

With the Finder, you can directly access the files of SongBook+.

You can find the SongBook+ folder on the Mac at the following path:

Documents/SongBook

or

/Users/[username]/Library/Containers/SongBook/Data/Documents

SongBook+ can also help you find this folder. There is a menu item "Open Folder in Finder".

When you select this menu item, SongBook+ copies the corresponding path to the clipboard.

Then open the "Go" menu in the Finder and then "Go to Folder..." and paste the path into the text field using the key combination [cmd⌘] + V or right-click and select "Paste".

With "Import Files"

When you call up the menu item "Import Files", a dialog window from the operating system opens, allowing you to choose a file. The file is then copied to the SongBook+ folder and appears in the "Unused Files" section.

With WLAN Sharing

You can temporarily share the SongBook+ folder over WLAN and then access it wirelessly with a computer.

When you connect to this share with the Windows PC or the Mac, you will be asked for a username and password.

You don't need to enter anything there; you can simply press "Next". SongBook+ does not check the entered user.

When you connect to this share with the Windows PC or the Mac, a message will appear indicating that the connection is not secure.

The reason for this is that the connection to the WLAN share is not encrypted (only http, no https). In your own WLAN, this is not a problem.

Adopting the data of another SongBook

If you already have SongBook+ on one device and want to transfer the same data to your Mac, you can create a backup of the SongBook+ data on the other device and restore the backup in SongBook on the Mac. (Of course, this can also be done vice versa, from the Mac to another device.)

There are different ways to create a backup of the SongBook+ data and restore the backup. Please check the Backing Up and Restoring Your Data page for more information.

If both devices use the same Apple ID and have internet access, the easiest way is via iCloud.
