Hi Janis
The ONLY problem I have had was when I first started with it and was
trying to figure out the way it worked, I didn't know if it would
upgrade and sync the second computer's copy while it was open......
like, "on the fly." (Working on computer #1 but having the same file
open on computer #2) I tried that to see what would happen and it
DOES sync the file to the other computer's Dropbox. But, because the
file was open on computer #2, it saved a file called Kathy (conflicted
file name). So, I reasoned that you have to have computer #2's file
closed so that it will overwrite the file correctly with the exact
same name. That works as it should and hence my caution about that in
my original post. So, you simply need to close the file when you are
no longer working on it on computer #2 so that when you work on
computer #1s file and close it, it will sync properly. Pretty simple
and normal operation for computer file saving rules, if you think
about it. :) But, I just had to try, LOL.
No other problems. It works great!

Kathy,
Well, unless there is some problem down the road, this is brilliant.
I am
always afraid I'll forget which is the most recent - my laptop or
desktop.
Have you run into any problems at all?

So you have NO data file left in your Legacy file. It is only in
your
DropBox file?
Yes, that's right.
Actually, my laptop is my primary workplace (lots of travel) and my
desktop
is the one that I have to keep up to date. Plus I am on Macs,
working
through Fusion - so I have DropBox installed on the Mac side and the
PC side
of the laptop, and on the Mac side and PC side of the desktop.
I believe you are on a Mac as well. Is that what you are doing?
Yes, I am on a Mac but I use Parallels. I don't know how Fusion
works,
but Parallels allows you to share your folders whether on your Mac or
Windows side. That's how I use my Mac-saved documents and photos in
Legacy. Legacy just links to them. So, I only installed Dropbox on
my
Mac side. The Dropbox folder syncs my Legacy files (Windows) and
several things from my Mac side. They all co-exist quite happily in
that Dropbox folder. :)
