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?

Thank you very much,
Alex

Hi Petko,
any news on this?

Thanks,
Alex

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.

Thanks!
Alex
