**PLEASE HELP** Switched to new workstation and am unable to transfer my old local host data

Omniverse Platform Nucleus

I have been stuck with this problem for 5 hours

I have switched to a new workstation and wish to transfer my local-host data to the new machine. I am however forced to make a new user when opening the nucleus service instead of logging on my original one

I have enabled sharing on both accounts, I have send an invite to the new machine’s user and it has accepted it, I have given the new user admin rights etc.

I hit the same wall everytime, I can’t input a server name - it just says it fails

Both PC’s are on the same local-server of course, I fear my problem might be that I can’t connect to the old local host without making a whole new localhost account with it’s own unique admin etc.

Since the two unique localhost share the exact same name being on the same IP_adress I am just unable to do anything except starting from scratch with my assets

How can I transfer my assets from one localhost to another without just downloading it all manually - i had thumbnails on my folders and everything lol

I ended up manually downloading the old local host to a drive and transfer it up to the new one.

I’m delighted to say that all folders and assets all remember their thumbnails, which was the thing I feared the most was lost in translation
