Graphics setting shared across devices, PC/Mac

I play ESO on multiple different Macs. Two are capable of running the game on the high graphics settings, but one isn't, so I use it infrequently on medium settings. Is there an option somewhere to ensure that each device has its own saved graphics settings? At the moment, if I change the setting to medium on the slower Mac, my settings automatically change (reduce) when I play again on a faster Mac.
I have a suspicion that my Mac setup might be responsible - but wondered if anyone else had a similar problem and had a solution.
Minor issue, but a little annoying at times

✭✭Yes, the game is installed on each machine. Think I have found the culprit though - all my documents are stored in the cloud, which seems to include the text file with my saved settings, thereby making them universal.
Oh well, at least I know.5

Lord Valar✭✭✭Hi there,
You're playing on 3 different machines, but where is your game ? On an external hard drive ?
If it is there, it's normal that each time you link it to another PC, it's gonna analyze your system to put the "basic" performances and settings.Edited by Lord Valar on November 23, 2016 9:43AM0 -
Lolssi✭✭✭Pretty sure he has installed it on all those machines.
I don't know how I did it but I have games installed at work and home. Both have different graphic settings.Edited by Lolssi on November 22, 2016 12:34PM0 -

Yes, that's it.
I didn't think of this way to play, does it works fine ? No lags (I mean more than normal ^^ ) and no FPS drops ?
Just need a good internet connection maybe, to read all files while playing ?Edited by Lord Valar on November 23, 2016 9:43AM0 -

✭✭Yeah it works fine - addon settings and user settings port across machines just fine. No delays or drops - I am running at around 30gig upload and maybe 10gig download on average, taking wifi etc into account. The only challenge is the one I mentioned - one of my less used macs can't handle the number of addons and the graphics settings I have on my usual machine. Not a big deal - just need to remember to switch settings at logon.1
