VNC Viewer stores remote connections locally first. Saved hosts with addresses, credentials, display options, and address books persist per install with optional cloud sync. No account is required for local use.
That makes the export plus cloud sync the migration path. Exact folder names may vary by version. Name connections by purpose; IP lists blur within months. SSH tunneling secures sessions. Clipboard syncs both directions. Scaling fits small screens. Blank remote screens hide work. Gestures map mouse buttons.

Frequently asked questions
Do connections sync between devices?
Yes with cloud sync enabled on login across desktop and mobile apps. Saved passwords need re-entry per security policy. Reinstalls without sync start empty.

Open connection settings and save credentials per host with meaningful names. Cloud sync carries them where enabled. Local-only setups need manual recreation per device.
