Hi, I would like to use couchdb on a android and a ios application, to store alle data locally in the database. So long no problem, but I would also like to sync these couchdb databases.
As far as I know, this can be acomplished with a central couchdb server instance, but I would like to use for the syncronisation/replication a dropbox account. Is this possible? or only a bad idea :-) One solution in my mind, is to create for every document in the couchdb, a json file in the dropbox, with uuid as filename. On programm start I check for new files in the dropbox. So new or updated documents will be merged in the local database. For example the password manager 1password can use dropbox as a backend, for every entry it creates a file in the dropbox and on startup it checks for new and updated entries in the dropbox. Any ideas or sugesstions? Thanks, Holger
