My wife and I have found that Legacy is the only software on the market that will allow two people to access the database. The exception is that both can not merge at the same time. I have the database on an external hard drive on the network. We both access that hard drive at the same time. We make all changes on Legacy and then upload to Ancestry Family Tree Online. The computer attached to the hard drive runs faster than the one linked through the network. Morris Sonnier

I also fully endorse Bruce’s comments on usage. To put it another way: do not have Legacy open on two (or more) computers at the same time.

My Legacy file is current on all of them no matter which I use to update Legacy. One caution is that you need to make sure you close Legacy and give enough time for Dropbox to upload your changed Legacy file and download it to the other computer(s) before opening Legacy on them (usually just a few seconds depending on the speed of your network connection). I have been using Dropbox for this purpose for quite some time and I am very pleased with the result.
