Hi</p>
<p>You don’t state what your computer operating system is, Windows, Mac or Linux.<br>
I am a Widows 10 user and have tested the following on windows 10 computers. I have added some comments relating to Mac but as a non-Mac user can’t be certain they are correct. If you are a Mac user and try the process would be interested in feedback.</p>
<p>Also included info on syncing Android phone. Again, an Apple phone may be slightly different.</p>
<p>First take a look at the YouTube Tutorial video I put together on the process. Paste address into your browser <a href="https://youtu.be/xjvrdaqvCaA">https://youtu.be/xjvrdaqvCaA</a></p>
<p>Moneydance syncing between two computers with separate Dropbox accounts.</p>
<p>Set up Dropbox Folder syncing as follows:<br>
1. Select your primary computer and set up syncing FILE (MONEYDANCE on Mac) – SYNCING enter passphrase and select Dropbox Folder – OK.<br>
2. On your primary computer use File Explorer to navigate to the “.moneydancesync” folder in Dropbox Folder. Note on Mac “.moneydancesync” may be hidden, try in your Finder window, typing CMD-Shift-G and then pasting ~/Dropbox/.moneydancesync/ into the box to unhide.<br>
3. Right click on this folder and select SHARE to the right of the Dropbox symbol.<br>
4. In the window that opens send an email to the person with whom you wish to share.<br>
5. The recipient of the emails should click on the Dropbox icon to open its window not<br>
on the “Go to Folder” button in the email. You should see in the Dropbox icon window a note to the effort that “.moneydancesync” is waiting to be shared. Click “Add to Dropbox”.<br>
6. On the secondary computer wait until the “.moneydancesync” folder appears (on Mac you may need to unhide “.moneydancesync”) and the Dropbox icon registers it is up to date.<br>
7. On the secondary computer start syncing, FILE ( MONEYDANCE on Mac) – NEW – OPEN SYNCED FILE – DROPBOX FOLDER – NEXT and highlight the Data Set to be synced – NEXT.<br>
8. Enter your password (passphrase) - FINISH.<br>
9. Data set should now sync.<br>
Mobile Device, syncing to Moneydance.<br>
1. Install moneydance on your Mobile Device, if already installed uninstall and reinstall.<br>
2. Open Moneydance on your Mobile Device.<br>
3. Click “Link Dropbox Account” button.<br>
4. You need to sign into the primary or secondary users Dropbox Account. Normally the primary user Dropbox Account, but both will work.<br>
5. On the screen “Moneydance would like access to the files and folders in your Dropbox” click ALLOW.<br>
6. Select the data set you want to sync too.<br>
7. Enter your sync password (passphrase) and click Begin Syncing.</p>
<p>It’s that simple.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/484179062020-06-22T08:26:02Z2020-06-22T08:26:03ZSync with different Dropbox accounts<div><p>Thanks, Derek. That seems very clear. I won't be able to try it until a while later. I'll be syncing Macs and will post again after I have tried it. Thanks again.<br>
