Hi Petko,
I use MyInfo 7 on two PCs. What do you recommend:
working on local notebook files (i.e c:\Users\User Name\Documents\MyInfo Notebooks\) and set the autobackup to a Dropbox folder, or
create the notebook directly on dropbox and working directly on it. Set the auto-backup to a local folder
create the notebook directly on dropbox and working directly on it. Set the auto-backup to a dropbox folder
Of course, working directly on Dropbox is simpler and quicker if I use regularly more than on pc, but the dropbox icon show constant updates when I do.
It the probability of data corruption low enough to work securely on Dropbox, or do you recommend working on an offline directory?
I think that setting your Notebooks location to a Dropbox folder and leaving the backup on the local PC is the best way to do it. MyInfo makes small changes each time you click on a note (locking it for editing), but these changes are synced very fast by Dropbox, because it only syncs the part of the file that was changed.
MyInfo 7 files are complex though, so your mileage may vary, but you can give it a try and see how it goes.
