Sytze, Don't do it..... it will never work..... use a proper cloud service if you want to share files, or a remote server.
it may LOOK like it works but as far as I know Dropbox use a "diff" methodology for file updates which doesn't hold well with VFP file/record locking methodology!

So I checked with Dropbox to see if I can share this folder with other people, and have a "Cloud application" In the Q and A sections, I can only find reference that I can't create such a folder in the public area Has anyone had any dealings with this ? I have used the public area on many occasions to send people a link to download an update or other file, and the system has been extremely useful. -- Regards Sytze de Boer [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
