Working with Multiple iDevices

myPhoneDesktop provides Support for Multiple Accounts allowing to work with several iDevices (e.g. iPhone and iPad) and Quick Accounts switching option. Here is how Multiple Accounts feature works: You will need to create a dedicated Account per each of your iDevice. Then you will have to add (register) all of your Accounts to Web Client.

After this is done you will be able to choose an Account (and its corresponding iDevice) you would work with from the myPhoneDesktop Web Client as well as Chrome Extension.  See this doc http://support.myphonedesktop.com/entries/187022-how-to-add-multiple-accounts for more information.

Tip: you may specify which action should be performed per each particular data type using Web Client’s "Settings | System Options" View (check out the "Default Action" drop-downs for each data type).
