Hi barry</p>
<p>It not possible to sync to the moneydance app without using Dropbox if your computers is not Mac of if you are an Apple user exclusively you can use iCloud instead.<br>
In both cases your data is end to end encrypted with the key only being held on your devices.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/588887422023-05-13T03:13:50Z2023-05-13T03:13:51ZSyncing directly without cloud solutions such as dropbox etc<div>I am not fond of becoming dependent on cloud based services Too many large computer networks operated by very large organizations have been infiltrated so I would prefer to run my own data storage and retrieval and D</div>
<div>I have received a response from MD indicating that they have received a similar enquiry and are now looking into it I guess it will depend on how many MD users share my concern</div>

Hi barry</p>
<p>When Moneydance uses Dropbox, it uses end to end symmetric encryption. Keys (syncing encryption passphrase) are not held in the cloud, only on your devices. So, if Dropbox was to be hacked they would only get an encrypted set of files, with no way to open them.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/588887422023-05-13T13:23:51Z2023-05-13T13:23:51ZSyncing directly without cloud solutions such as dropbox etc<br>
