The machine used to first set up a sync account seems to provide the cloud "master" at the time of setup. Subsequent "sync now" operations from any device seem to download that cloud "master" onto the devices. But how do you update the cloud "master" and can it be done (uploaded from) by the device of your choosing?

Hi Igbortaz, This ONLY happens when you attach the first device to the account. After that, all devices attached to the account sync and merge with the stored then overwrites the local profile. Unfortunately, at the moment there is not a feature to choose which device is the master.

And before making any changes, I would recommend making a backup of your profile.
