Hi, As I said, I’m not sure you can use dropbox to sync with Android, as the path Android uses is hardcoded to /sdcard/Mnemosyne.
However, I’ve heard of Android dropbox utilities which let you sync a folder on the sdcard, and if these work, it should be fine. I have no experience with this however. Dropbox will sync your repetition data. The Mnemosyne sync mechanism is not limited to 2 devices. The Mnemosyne sync mechanisms requires that you e.g. have a copy of Mnemosyne running on your desktop, and then you press ‘sync’ on your phone to update your data. I do have full easier dropbox integration on my development roadmap, but not in the immediate future.

Thanks Peter. I will probably just be adding cards on one computer but hope to review them on the computer, tablet, and android phone. That will work. right? In other words the limit of two computers is just for adding cards? Also what did you mean by "This is probably not a very big deal, however." in your previous email. Does Dropbox not sync the repetition data along with the cards. Sorry if I am going over old ground. With Dropbox when you open up any of your computers it sychs to that computer. With the Mnemosyne synch it looks like you have to have your server up and the computer you want to use for reviewing on the train so it synchs before you go?

Would Dropbox support synching among multiple computers and an Android phone. Thanks, Gerry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
