Nelson... although I have GnuCash installed on 2 separate laptops, I only actively use GnuCash on one laptop (with the data regularly backed up on an external drive). The other laptop installation is just in case my primary laptop crashes (and I could then copy one of the backed up data files for it).
I have no need to regularly access the GnuCash data file from 2 different sources, however, just out of curiosity as I've seen the dropbox usage referenced not infrequently here... When I save my GnuCash it does not write the same file name each time, eg 2020-12-Dec.gnucash.20201205100356.gnucash 2020-12-Dec.gnucash.20201205073851.gnucash etc. So, for example. 1. I save GnuCash data on Laptop 1. The save goes to my dropbox directory. 2. On Laptop 2, I open up the saved GnuCash data file from the dropbox directory. 3. All is good. 4. Then on Laptop 1 I open up GnuCash, and it defaults to the last saved file. I work on it. Then save it. 5. All is good 6. But when I later open up GnuCash on Laptop 2, it's going to automatically load the last saved file which will not be the latest file which has a different name. 7. So are you saying when you use dropbox in conjunction with GnuCash, the user has to go to the dropbox directory, and manually load the last saved file after looking at the saved dates, to make sure it's not loading an older saved file? Hope that's clear. Thanks. As I say, just curious. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
