Hi, Syncing is for syncing devices (plural) and the hard drive does not cut it. You can if have access to the hard drive to do these by USB Key from one system to another :

Note using 1 device only to sync it's contents will lead to failure in the long run as that is not how it is designed to perform. You should delete that device from your Sync Account.
