I've taken the suggestions from fellow posters of this group and gone to the three separate task files to perform dropbox syncs. I have a tasks_pc, tasks_laptop and a tasks_sync file. The PC opens the _pc file and the laptop opens the _laptop file. I then do manual syncs.
The problem I had with dropbox was that it would periodically create two identically named files for tasks.ml, one for each device. These files would never re-sync and it was a pain to get them back to the same file. Anyway using three separate files also allows me to only archive from the tasks_pc file. Those archives are also in the dropbox tree. That approach takes the best features of dropbox (it is faster to sync) and the MLO syncing (which prompts you to resolve conflicts). And it solves the archive issue... On Oct 10, 7:24 pm, Adam Lasnik <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm currently sync'ing my todo list amongst three computers (using > Dropbox).
