I think it only syncs media sent the last 45days though. Did they change that too?
No, its still 45 days
I mean sure, technically that is a limitation. Realistically though, that is long enough.
Or do you regularly not open the desktop client for more than 45 days?
More of a problem when adding a new desktop.
Yeah, this. They should really make an os-agnostic database of the chats to freely export/import among devices, like simpleX allows
Interesting feature, surely possible. I have seen that on "Threema". Of course, secured by two layers of passwords/-phrases and strict connection procedure.
Not the person you asked the question to. But I might not use my computer for weeks so it happens like once a year to me
I think the question is rather, "Realistically though, that is long enough" not just to get the data itself but rather how frequently once needs the data that is older than 45 days old AND who didn't open the client for that duration AND that can not find it on their other client.
It's definitely not impossible... but it's also for most users probably (but that's just my bet from my normal usage) extremely rare.
