Thanks Dwight, Christoph. I ended up sharing one branch to a separate file which her machine then syncs that file as well. With the F9 syncing it kind of has a 90's feel to it - like I'm constantly saving a wordperfect document. It works in so far as it functions and syncs but it's more than just a *little* cumbersome, esp. for the year 2015.
There are ways I could suggest to fix this but it seems the real way forward is for cloud sync to support syncing branches (which it presently does not.) To be an actual solution however it also has to adopt push-based syncing (as soon as there's a change, it should be queued to push) and a more intelligent automatic record merge /conflict resolution. This is an area that requires some solid attention and doesn't seem to be getting any. Either MLO is an end to end system or it's just a bunch of loosely related but in-cohesive parts. Cloud sync was pitched as a solver of problems. So far it doesn't appear to have done much of that and MLO will not truly be an end to end system until it does. Thanks for your advice guys. Let's see how this works in practice over the next few weeks.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
