I've been using Dropbox to synchronize sqlite files with no problems for a year, but only use the Dropbox directory as a synchronization buffer, not as a place to do work.
I usually 1) make a copy of the db in a non drop box directory, 2) complete all work on the copy, 3) replace the Dropbox copy after all connections are closed. Perhaps I am overly cautious, but I had Dropbox delete an MS-Word file and synchronize the delete while I was saving my changes before. (Fortunately the Dropbox web site was able to restore an older copy, so Id didn't lose everything.) regards, Adam ________________________________________ From: sqlite-users <sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org> on behalf of Nigel Verity <nigelver...@hotmail.com> Sent: April 7, 2017 7:42:57 AM To: sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] Sqlite + Dropbox Hi I have just started using Dropbox to share documents. If I place a Sqlite database in my Dropbox folder I access it from a local application as a local file. This is then automatically synced with the copy held in my Dropbox cloud storage. This strikes me as a possible way to share a database across the internet. Is this a practical approach or does the time it takes to sync the files introduce too much latency? I'd be interested in advice and/or experiences from anybody who has tried this.
