As I'm still on XP I use GoodSync its great, simply create instructions to synchronise a to b, or b to a, or both-ways. I have 2 x 1 Terabyte drives synchronising and a 500 Mbyte external drive synchronising my Music, Photos and Family Tree, as well I sync smart chips. In fact you can sync any folders or CD/DCD. Years ago I lost all my info when the hard drive failed so this pedantic use of three drives.

It's easy to set it up to sync folders like music, documents, etc but I'm not sure how (or if) it can be used to sync the data folder in Legacy. I just wanted to know if anyone had used it to keep their Legacy database on 2 or more computers in sync and if so, how did they set it up and what did they think of the results. I know that the program Dropbox can be used as could thumb drives, etc. If there is no one out there who is using Windows Live Sync for the syncing of their database, how about those of you who are using Dropbox sharing the path needed to sync the computers together. Thanks.
