How to share mRemoteNG connections on more Windows computers via Google Drive

The situation

Using mRemoteNG on several Windows computers and not wanting making the same configurations of connections on each of them.

The setup

  • Windows 10 (Home, Pro, ...)
  • Google Drive (GDrive) synchronized via Drive File Stream

The procedure

  1. Move your %APPDATA%\mRemoteNG somewhere on your GDrive.
  2. Open command-line terminal (cmd.exe) as Administrator.
  3. Make symbolic directory link from original location of moved folder, e.g.:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /D "%APPDATA%\mRemoteNG" "G:\My Drive\***\***\AppData\Roaming\mRemoteNG"
symbolic link created for C:\Users\******\AppData\Roaming\mRemoteNG <<===>> G:\My Drive\***\***\AppData\Roaming\mRemoteNG

(Directory junction won't work instead of symbolic directory link, because it is working only in the scope of local NTFS drives.)

Repeat those steps on each Windows computer. Maybe (depending on your specific situation) you will need to do some merge of mRemoteNG connection configuration files.
