Adam, thanks a million! It works great. I put it on my netbook and my
laptop/desktop and my iphone.

Copied my current project (on the netbook), renamed it, and moved in to a
project folder in the Dropbox. Only hitch was all the filters/accents were
missing. I took care of that by copying the contents of my original project
subfolder into the Dropbox project folder. This left me with two projects.

I made changes closed TMG. A split second and the green check showed.

Went to my laptop/desktop, opened the tmg project in the dropbox project
folder, viola, the change was there.

Best of all, there is a backup of everything on the dropbox site and my
iphone!.


I am a convert!!

Hi Carole,

I do exactly what you propose to do. Using a secure service called Dropbox
to do the synchronising for me automatically, and it works great. If you
want to give it a try, here is a link.

Also here is an excellent article by Dick Eastman that tells you how to use
Dropbox with TMG.
