IntelliJ not recognising live templates in ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA<version>/templates
Answered
So there are 2 problems that I'm facing.
1. I'm couldn't get IntelliJ to recognise the templates I got from https://github.com/koomai/phpstorm-laravel-live-templates and copied to /~Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2017.3/templates
2. I tried creating custom template group and templates, but it doesn't appear in the said folder either.
Note: `templates` doesn't exist initially even though I've created custom templates before. But as mentioned earlier, creating the folder and copying templates over doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm using an evaluation version if that helps.

If your settings are synchronized to the JetBrains Account, the files should be placed into the following directory:
See https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2017/09/intellij-idea-2017-3-eap-better-synchronization-of-your-settings-across-devices-and-other-improvements/ about this feature.
Cool, that was it! Thanks :)
After checking many things without success, I finally found this page.
I think that Docs should be updated to indicate the change of the config folder when you enable sync using your JetBrains account.
Anyway, thanks for the tip, I was about to stop attempting to use my old live templates...
