The only important thing is that the relative location of the database and the PDFs is the same on both computers. Though after you synchronize, it is probably better to open and save the database on the other computer. This fixes the linked files so they will be linked more reliable (BD remembers both the relative location and an alias; the alias will be useless on the other computer so should be updated).

Hi
I file all my pdf files in one place like ~/Documents/PDF and the bib file in the same folder. If I backup this folder and put it in another computer, should BibDesk be organised?
Cheers

Sure, you can use any field using %f{Field}. Of course you need a Pmid
field.
