I currently have Moneydance installed on a windows 11 laptop and am syncing through Dropbox with an iPhone and an iPad. I want to install it on another windows 11 laptop and sync it to the other 3 devices. Can you detail the correct method to accomplish this. Thank you

    Before you set up syncing, you must ensure the .moneydancedata files you'd like to share are not already located in any shared folder like Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud etc.”

   My current pc and mobile devices already have that files in their Dropbox folder. Does this only apply to the new pc?

   Hi Jim,
   When you launch Moneydance on your new computer, this will open the Welcome Window, where you should choose "Create New Account Set->Open synced file**.

   • Choose the same sync method as the primary computer

   • Enter the same Passphrase to match

   Please keep us posted on your progress, Thank you!
