Javier, Thanks so much for your response and suggestions. Actually, I do use dropbox for lots of files I need to have 'here and there' What I'm not sure about is how to go about having my tiddly files back up onto DB? Is that terribly lame? I suppose it may be: I just can't figure it out.
Would you be kind enough to give me some bright green newb pointers? When I've tried to move my WIKI folder off the DT - you will not be surprised to know that trying to open them in TWDT shows the files are AWOL. Moving the folder back to the DT, files are open-able again. Syncthing - LOL! - love the idea, but 'harder to set up' ... gives me pause (I went and had a quick gander at the link 😳) . Don't love DB and when feeling brave and/or reckless may give Syncthing a go? Presently it seems a bit of a headscratcher, tho, to be honest. Oooh, just found the second link you posted and it looks like I can get my head around that. Superb! Much appreciated... but I think perhaps the question may remain. How to direct my saving to a particular destination?
