I concur entirely with this. Most people make the mistake of making their Data folder the place where DropBox expects to find files to be synched. They should be using two directories on both machines: the normal, Legacy Data folder and the DropBox landing area. You copy the FDB (and any other files) into the landing area and let DropBox do its' job of copying stuff into the 'cloud'. Then, on the second machine, DropBox will fetch stuff from the 'cloud' into that landing area, from where you copy files into your Legacy data folder. Basically: Don't take shortcuts! -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
