# iCloud Integration

> Gridshift uses iCloud to sync your projects, presets, and settings across your Macs.

Sign into iCloud on each Mac with the same Apple ID and Gridshift keeps the following in sync automatically:

* **Projects** — your `.gsp` project bundles, including embedded audio, [version history](/features/versioning), and the project's task list.
* **Effect presets** — see [Presets](/features/presets).
* **Monitor profiles** — see [Monitor Profiles](/features/monitor-profiles).
* **Plugin categories** — see [Plugin Categories](/features/plugin-categories).
* **Sample-library annotations** — ratings, tags, and detected BPM/key on samples you've indexed. See [Sample Library](/features/sample-library#cross-device-sync).

## Gridshift Folder in iCloud Drive

Projects, presets, and monitor profiles live as files in iCloud Drive. Open Finder and navigate to **iCloud Drive → Gridshift** to see:

```
iCloud Drive/
  Gridshift/
    Projects/         .gsp project bundles
    Presets/          .gspreset effect presets
    MonitorProfiles/  monitor calibration bundles
```

`⌘S` and `⌘O` default to the `Projects` folder. You can organize it any way you like — Gridshift watches the folder and updates the project browser automatically when files arrive from another Mac.

## Download Progress

When you open a project that isn't on your Mac yet, Gridshift shows a **Downloading from iCloud…** indicator with progress while the bundle is fetched. Once it's local, loading continues straight into the project. Large projects with embedded audio may take a few seconds on the first open.
