Help with dropbox sync

Post by rsullivan »

Hello

Sorry to bother you but I have tried to look for the answer in the manual and previous post and have been unable to find it (does not mean it is not there).

I am a new mobile user only and I am trying to set up sync with dropbox so my husband and I can share info as we go easily but I cannot find how to edit the dropbox path on the mobile app.

I have saved a file from my phone online and moved it to a shared folder on dropbox but it is as far as I got :-(

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

On your iPhone :
1. Click on synchronization line
2. Set the name of the file on Dropbox to /Accounts.compta for example (make sure to start with a slash)
3. Change mode to "Send"
4. Click the blue arrow to start sending the file to Dropbox

On the other iPhone :
5. Click on synchronization line
6. Set exactly the same name as in step 2
7. Change mode to "Replace"
8. Click the blue arrow to start downloading the file from Dropbox

You can go in Settings application on each iPhone and activate automatic Dropbox synchronization so that it will send the file to Dropbox when you click on the "Save" button in the main screen and it will download the latest file from Dropbox when you launch iCompta.
