If you choose to set up sync later, the same preferences you saw at first launch are available in OmniFocus Sync preferences. If you’re planning to sync, it’s recommended to do so as part of the app setup process to ensure as smooth a transition as possible between versions, and to provide that added layer of backup right away. If you have OmniFocus for iOS, syncing connects you to the latest changes made on any of your devices. Syncing is important as an additional layer of backup storage for your data, and enables several of the advanced features of the app such as email capture. When you first launch OmniFocus you’ll be asked to set up Sync.
