Hi Scott TW5 can use the Dropbox API from the browser, so your scenarios are doable.
One could build a TW5 plugin that on startup authorises with Dropbox if necessary, and then loads tiddlers from a specified folder. TiddlyWiki in the Sky for Dropbox does something fairly similar: http://dropbox.tiddlywiki.com/ https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki-in-the-Sky Best wishes Jeremy On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 5:28 AM, Scott Kingery <[email protected]>wrote: > I had the kernel of an idea the other day...
