Actually you were partly right. The free account will save versions for only 30 days. After that older versions roll off. The paid accounts keep all versions forever. On February 8, 2014 7:54:59 PM CST, Paul Hibbert wrote: >Mark, > >Thank you for sharing that, I looked all over for this wh

Mark, Thank you for sharing that, I looked all over for this when I heard about it, but when I saw the add on in the price structure I stopped looking. I guess Dropbox has one thing in common with LiveCode then - occasionally lacking in documentation! Thanks again, Paul On 2014-02-08, at 4:

And some of you may be interested in Sookasa, a utility that works with Dropbox to encrypt files. It creates a "Sookasa" folder in your Dropbox folder, and encrypts the files there so that the version that lives on your hard drive and the version in the Dropbox cloud are both encrypted. They use

Hi Geoff, I've been using Scott Rossi's trick of putting a "player app" in Dropbox and having it load in my current stack into IOS via a text link. ( http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2012-February/167981.html) It is so helpful to be able to make a change in my current app in the edi

Not sure if this has been posted before, but just in case: If you store your stack files in the dropbox folder on your computer, dropbox does a really good job of saving a copy of each separate file whenever the file is saved. You can look at a list of the saved versions and get/restore any of them
