Hi Keith, There are really two issues here. 1) Relinking all of your pictures to your new location in Dropbox. I have no experience with this, but as others have said as long as they were in one folder, and are now just in another folder (the Dropbox folder) there seems to be a way for Legacy

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox and Legacy

You could work out of the Dropbox folder, but I don't - no particular reason. I just copy the files to dropbox occasionally. I wrote a little script to automate the process. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http:/

Re: [LegacyUG] dropbox add-ons

Hi Mike, I can't answer your questions, but have you considered placing the backup files into Dropbox instead of your data files? BTW, your data files can reside anywhere, you just have to point to them when opening the file. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy -Original Message- *Subject:*

Re: [LegacyUG] Dropbox help?

Dropbox actually syncs 3 identical Legacy databases. There is a "My dropbox" folder installed on each computer and the third at the Dropbox website. Install Dropbox on each computer - then open Legacy & save the database to the Dropbox folder on ONE computer and Dropbox creates the database on th
