Great. Just to clarify, by ~/.lyx and .lyx config dir, you mean the user directory? (Listed on my W7 PC as "~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.1\")

Good point about MikTeX - I don't recall making too many direct edits to MikTeX, so it's probably not necessary to sync. For LyX: here is a rough outline of the procedure I had in mind. Does it seem sensible? 1. Install LyX on machine A. 2. [?] Do something out of the ordinary for a LyX installa

Dear LyX Users, I would like to keep my LyX settings synchronized between my home and work PCs. Is there a preferred way to do this? I have plenty of space in my Dropbox account and was thinking about just installing LyX (and MikTeX too, I suppose?) to Dropbox, but I suspect there is a more effic
