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
