With the Finder

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

You can find the folder of SongBook+ 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 called "Open Folder in Finder."

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

Then open the Finder menu item "Go" and then "Go to Folder…" and paste the path with the key combination [cmd⌘] + V or right-click in the text field and the menu item "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 Wi-Fi Sharing

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

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

There is no need to enter anything; you can simply press "Continue." SongBook+ does not check the entered user.

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

The reason is that the connection to the Wi-Fi share is not encrypted (only http, not https). However, in your own Wi-Fi, this is not a problem.

Adopting the Data of Another SongBook

If you already have SongBook+ on a 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 the SongBook on the Mac. (This of course also works the other way around from the Mac to another device.)

There are different ways to back up SongBook+ data and restore the backup. Please see 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 through iCloud.
