Online Sync Client

Is Tableau online sync client not available for mac? The option is greyed out when I open the workbook on Tableau Desktop on a Mac.

 

If it is not available how do you use Tableau Online then? I am just finding this so difficult to use Tableau on Mac.

    Hey Diego!

     

    Thanks for responding. I would only think it would be obvious to have the same functionality for Mac. After all there are a lot of people using Tableau for Mac. Because there were issues with high res scaling using options like bootcamp and parallels, IT set up a virtual machine for me and I installed Tableau for Windows on that virtual machine and set up extracts to refresh via the online sync client on that virtual machine and I run Tableau for Mac for my daily need. It works pretty well for the most part.

     

    Thanks again!

    Pooja.
