How to copy virtual devices downloaded by Genymotion to another machine?

Question

I have installed Genymotion for Android in one machine (windows PC) and downloaded a Nexus virtual device. How can I copy the virtual device to another development machine?<

Answer 1

Tested in the latest version of Genymotion(v2.7.2) dated 20/08/2016 and might work for future versions too.

1. Download and install the same version(latest) of Genymotion on both the systems.

2. From the source system, copy the contents of the following folders to the same corresponding folders in the destination system.(Ensure Genymotion is closed while doing this)

   > C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\ova
   > C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Genymobile\Genymotion\deployed
   

3. Open Genymotion and add the same virtual device to it. It may appear to be downloading but it will load the data from the copied folders and set up the virtual device.

4. The copied virtual device will appear in "Your virtual device" section.

5. Run the virtual device for testing.

6. Done.

Hope this helped :)
