Gail, This is entirely your choice, but if I am right in assuming that the files which you wish to synchronise are your family files, then they are the ones with the extension ‘.fdb’, usually found in your C:\Legacy\Data folder.

I have downloaded it on my laptop and will be adding it to my desktop in a while. Exactly which file of Legacy to you save to Dropbox or how is it that I go about using it?

My Legacy file is current on all of them no matter which I use to update Legacy. One caution is that you need to make sure you close Legacy and give enough time for Dropbox to upload your changed Legacy file and download it to the other computer(s) before opening Legacy on them (usually just a few seconds depending on the speed of your network connection). I have been using Dropbox for this purpose for quite some time and I am very pleased with the result.

Is there a way to keep the two files in sync when I update on one and not the other? Also is there a way to keep it updated when I add something to my Ancestry tree online and want to add the same information to my file on my computer without retyping everything?
