    Default Working on a different computer

    This is likely so easy I'll feel dumb. I have a web design on one computer and want to work on it on a different desktop. (Often, I'll also want to work on a laptop when I travel.) How do I move a web under construction to a different computer?

    I tried importing from a URL, but found significant differences in fonts and object positioning. I exported to a thumb drive, but Xara won't import (open) the folder holding the files as a web. What am I doing wrong?

    Use Dropbox?
    Egg

    Intel i7 - 4790K Quad Core + 16 GB Ram + NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Graphics Card + MSI Optix Mag321 Curv monitor
    + Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD + 232 GB SSD + 250 GB SSD portable drive + ISP = BT + Web Hosting = TSO Host

    Or save the xar/web file to your thumb drive... Not the exported website.

    Dropbox would be my first choice like Egg suggests.

    make sure Web Designer 11 Premium is installed and activated on both machines and that both are registered to open *.web files
    then just transfer the file however you want, ftp, email, dropbox, usb etc...
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    Thanks all. Sending the file .web is what I needed to know. I thought it might be a "Publish" option, to ensure that all related files accompany the web.
