2 or more computers with same name & auto discovery

You can edit the nickname in the PocketCloud application by selecting Edit on the connection you wish to rename. On the Connection Settings screen, you can modify the nickname.

You cannot modify the computer name from the PocketCloud Companion application, but you can rename your computers name through the operating system.

You cannot edit the computers nickname from the PocketCloud Companion application. You can ONLY edit the nickname (on the device) with PocketCloud installed. Changing the nickname on the mobile device will not change the name of the computer it is actually connecting to, only its nickname that is displayed on your mobile device. 

If you would like to edit the nickname on your mobile device, select Edit on the auto-discovered connection. After selecting Edit, you will be on the Connection Settings screen. On this screen, you can tap where it says Nickname, after doing that the Edit Nickname screen will show. From here you can edit the connections nickname (local only, this will not actually change the name of the computer you are connecting to).

If you wish to change the actual name of the computer you are connecting to, you must do it through that computers operating system.

I am terribly sorry for the incorrect information and the misunderstanding on my part. You are correct, you cannot edit the nicknames on automatic connections. It is not possible at this time and I have passed along the request to the product team to be able to do that in the future. 

The easiest work around for this would be to create a manual connection for those computers so you can set the nicknames for each. You could also change the name of the PC through the OS using the information from my previous post.

This is not how the iPad version works.

The Edit button only allows you to Delete or Change the position of entries.
Connection Settings is the button which is at the right under the connect button.
When you go into Connection Settings for a Manual Connection, then you can change the Nickname.
When you go into Connection Settings for a Discovered Connection, then the Nickname is greyed out.

I am using version 2.2.223 of PocketCloud Pro which is the latest release.

I shouldn't have to explain how the software works to you, Josh. If I'm missing something, then I'm sorry, but I don't think so.

It seems that maybe this isn't possible at this time, if so, please make a request to the development team. Changing the Nickname within the PocketCloud Companion would be best.

I am also having this same issue with like-named servers and auto-discovered connections. I put in the ability to edit nicknames as a feature request back in June, so hopefully it is on the roadmap.

No problem and yes, please keep an eye out on future releases! =]

Unfortunately the feature has only been implemented in the OSX Companion, but should eventually make it into the Windows Companion. So keep an eye out on future releases!

Hey guys, download the latest version of the companion (OSX). It now has the ability to rename the connection.

You can download it here:

Does this only apply to the Mac version? I don't use a Mac, and just downloaded the new Windows version 2.3.7 of the companion. It still does not allow nicknames to be renamed.

Josh,

Any update on this request? I keep downloading the new Windows Companion updates hoping to be able to rename the connection or set a nickname, but nothing so far.
