A quick Google on "things osx dropbox" comes up with about 2 million results! <http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= things+osx+dropbox> Several of them appear to be discussing ways to sync the Things database via dropbox eg this one (which was the first result on my search): <http://www.tuaw.com/2009/10/10/tips-and-tricks-putting-things-in-your-dropb ox-makes-syncing-si/> A quick peruse suggests that it is easy to sync the database between computers but that you need to ensure that only one computer at a time is accessing the database, to quote the article: >> There are some caveats to this sync method.
