Hello
I have Moneydance running on my Macbook Pro. Which sync option should I use to make sure my file will always be synced on the three devices? It does not have to be in realtime. I just need to make sure that the data I entered via iPhone or iPad will appear on my Macbook Pro Moneydance file. Which is recommended? (1) Dropbox Connection or (2) Dropbox File?
Thanks a lot

   I am not support staff, just a user.

   The following is an explanation given by Sean the software developer regarding these two syncing methods, Dropbox Folder and Dropbox Connection.
   “With "Dropbox Connection" Moneydance uses the Dropbox API to talk to the Dropbox service directly. So, you don't need to have Dropbox client actually installed on your computer, but you do need to be online when Moneydance is running in order for changes to be synced. With "Drobox Folder" Moneydance will just read and write files to your Dropbox folder on your computer, which means that you need to have Dropbox client installed and running, but you don't need to be online in order for Moneydance to read and write the changes.”

   I use Dropbox Folder.

   Hope this helps
