If you are 2 persons logged into the same MikroTik unit from separate computers, any changes done from the other client, will live change in your Winbox interface. Winbox have the menus in nearly the same "paths" as ssh/terminal, so if you read a script, you will in most situations find the same menus in the same nested hierarchy in Winbox. Also for a Mac it is always smart to move them outside of the virtual file system, so you preserve them, if you should choose to download a new Winbox version. By moving them to a shared/synced folder, you can share session files between several installations or even between different users. With the top menu bar item Tools ⇢ Move Sessions Folder., you can relocate the path where Winbox stores these small session files. Sessions are stored per IP/MAC, so you will connect to different sessions, if you connect to the same router using different IPs/MAC. are all preserved until next time you connect. This means that the next time you connect to the router with Winbox, the size and placement of the windows, the columns you have chosen to show for each window etc.
Winbox stores all sessions on your client in one session file per router connection. Off course it's much easier always to use Check for updates instead, as this preserves the address list.
If you overwrite your old Mac app without doing this, you will loose your routerlist. Import and export with Winbox ⇢ Tools ⇢ Export/Import.
#Winbox download for linux install
This means it has it's own filesystem, so if you download and install a new version, remember first to export your address list from the old app, before you might overwrite the app and all adresses with the new version. Winbox on Mac is packaged and running inside a small license-free virtual Windows installation.
This works on both Windows, macOS and Linux, and is fast as it only downloads about 1.5 MB. After your first install, use Winbox ⇢ Tools ⇢ Check For Updates to upgrade to new versions.
