Guidelines for New User

After downloading the zip file, unzip to your thumb drive and run GameAnywhere.exe from your thumb drive and vice versa. This would enable you to synchronize your game data to your thumb drive. If you are purely doing online synchronization of your game data, you can run the program from your computer.

You can store your game files on your free GameAnywhere Online Account. Registration of an account is free.

To keep your GameAnywhere online game files synchronized with your thumb drive, simply do a web and thumb synchronization.

Please note that although the online storage space is unlimited for each user on our server (Amazon S3), synchronization of very large game files will take a substantial amount of time as there is a cap on the upload/download bandwidth of each user. However, synchronizing configuration game files is fast as they are smaller in size.

To uninstall, simply remove all files that were unzipped from GameAnywhere.zip. For GameAnywhere to function normally, please do not tamper with the files/folders contained in the GameAnywhere folder.
