Actually, Dropbox does not require constant internet access. The design of Dropbox (and other similar services) is that there is a Dropbox folder on your local computer(s) and an extra copy in the cloud. Legacy (and other programs as well) always use the local copy of your file. When file updates are done, those updates are copied up into the cloud either immediately if you are currently connected to the internet or if not, the next time you connect. It also copies the updates down to the "other computer", again either immediately of later, depending upon that computer's connection status.

There are many places I visit that do not, and many that have such slow speeds that access would take longer than the trip.

That way, they are always accessible. And the db could be synced to the external hard drive. Martha
