<p>We're hoping to have Moneydance-to-Moneydance syncing completed
for the 2013 release of Moneydance, however this isn't finalized
yet so I can't be sure. The Dropbox file sharing method seems to
work fairly well (I'm actually not aware of any cases that have
come up here discussing file corruption, though that doesn't
definitively prove that it hasn't happened) and if your main file
were to get corrupted, there are also the checkpoint files that
Moneydance could use to restore your data from your most recent
backup (which should be daily). Dropbox also detects file conflicts
in its own internal functioning, so corruption may not end up being
the problem, but transactions not entering the main file due to a
conflict from two computers trying to save at once. I do
understand, however, if you'd prefer not to take the risk.</p>
<p>We'll be sure to notify you when Moneydance-to-Moneydance
syncing is available, either way. Please let us know if we can be
of further assistance!</p>

<p>I thought I read on your site that you can't sync with drop box
and use MD on both computers at the same time. Are you saying that
syncing with dropbox works fine, and I can be using both computers
with MD open at the same time?</p></div>Dr. John Holdentag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/246170252013-02-06T00:58:42Z2013-02-06T00:58:42ZSyncing networked computers<div><p>Hi,<br>
I don't believe that Scott was being clear enough. We do not
recommend accessing a dropbox file simultaneously from two
different computers, we can't promise data integrity. But we are
working on a solution for this.<br>
I hope this clears it up a little.<br>
Please let us know if you have any more questions.<br>
Sincerely,<br>

wife and I try to be very careful to not open the file at the same
time, but it still does happen. It would be nice to see this
feature in MD.</p>
<p>Should this discussion be moved over to the zendesk site?</p></div>TJ Finlinsontag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/246170252014-01-11T19:37:53Z2014-01-11T19:37:53ZSyncing networked computers<div><p>Hi TJ,<br>
This feature is still in our development plan, but I don't have a
time frame on implementation, sorry.<br>
Sincerely,<br>
