Steve, Paul is correct. Your desktop and laptops using Dropbox have a folder that is called Dropbox. Anything you save there is synchronized to the cloud Dropbox server. Anything synced to the cloud server from one computer is also synced to your other devices. If you are offline in a library

Thanks Sherry. I have a chromebook, an android phone, and a desktop PC. There is another possibility for some people who have something like I have. There is Chrome Remote Desktop. This will allow you to remotely access your computer, with Chrome or Android. This works very well, but if someone

I don't know of any genealogy programs that are stored on a server. Those who offer web space, such as Ancestry and other "tree" pages, have definite problems, mainly the lack of flexibility you get with desktop programs. Searches, reports, sorts, etc are quite limited. And when you decide you

Jamie, what you said to Mike is exactly what I was talking about. I've been using Legacy for some time, but it doesn't sound as if they will be taking that road. Even though I really like Legacy, I would consider switching if others offered that flexibility and Legacy didn't. Thanks for putting

Thank you once again. It's possible that I don't really understand how the cloud could work (or not) with Legacy. Is it not possible to have the program itself in the cloud, and it could sync with the Windows version of Legacy? If it is possible, that seems like it would be a great thing for a l
