How to synchronize my XMind Workbook among my signed in devices? You have claimed that I will be able to work "non-stop" when I subscribe! And where is the possibility now?

  Same question. 
  My setup is: I work on a desktop XMind version (now 2021) at work, and then, occasionally, I need to access/update the same mind map from my mobile while I travel. After changing the map on my mobile, I want to have it synced at my desktop too when I am back at work.
  
  Perhaps there are easier ways that I did not discover but my workaround so far was:

  1. keep the file on my personal OneDrive account (for personal OneDrive, it worked just fine but for our corporate OneDrive, it threw an error that prevented the use of the mind map in step 4 - "List user file failed for [corporate] OneDrive, please try again later". Maybe it was a one-off issue - I did not try again with the corporate OneDrive account though)
  2. Do not forget to actually save the latest changes on your desktop (Ctrl + S; the autosave function is needed badly in desktop version, please!)
  3. while travelling, I do NOT use the mobile Xmind app that seems just to download the OneDrive file to some local mobile cache but it does not sync back my changes to OneDrive and I did not figure out how to upload it again/save changes to the same file after changing the mind map (yes, you can upload a copy with a different name - so in theory, you could pick it up while at desktop again, but to handle a number of similarly named files is... well, suboptimal - to be polite)
  4. instead, while on phone, I use a mobile browser and access the file via web interface at https://xmind.works - after logging in, it allowed me to add my personal OneDrive as a cloud drive, and I could access the file, and it autosaved my changes back to the OneDrive file (on one occassion though, it said the "network is not stable" and the autosave failed, but I was manually able to Save it, and the autosave worked normally thereafter. Also, I used Chrome mobile browser, since Edge did not work with xmind.works...)
  5. when I am back at my desktop Xmind, I close the mind map window first (Ctrl+W - as the desktop does not sync automatically, so the locally cached file knows nothing about my mobile changes) and then I reopen the same file from the recent maps list, and voila! - after reopening the file, the mobile changes are there (because at reopening, Xmind downloads the latest version from OneDrive - which happens to be the version I saved via xmind.works web interface on my mobile in step 4)
