<p>Which version of Moneydance and Windows are you using? Have you recently tried to upgrade either of these? Can you also clarify which syncing option you are using from the File -> Syncing window?</p>

<p>I have Moneydance Version 2019 3</p>
<p>And Windows 10 Pro on a Microsoft Surface PC</p>
<p>Everything has been working fine until about May 5th when synching with the PC ceased. Synching across Apple devices (IPhone and iPad continues to work fine) I need the PC version to produce my financial reports</p>
<p>I have tried Dropbox synching with both “Dropbox Folder” and “Dropbox Connection” … neither works</p>

Hi Terry</p>
<p>Your could try this.</p>
<p>Sign into your Dropbox account online and make a copy of your “.moneydancesync” folder under another name as a backup.</p>
<p>Open Moneydance on your computer. If Moneydance opens in the Welcome to Moneydance window click CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT SET or if Moneydance is open in a data set click FILE (MONEYDANCE on Mac) – NEW.</p>
<p>Then click OPEN SYNCED FILE. Use the dropdown to set the same sync method as you were using. Click NEXT and highlight your data set from the list. If there is more than one listed select the one being synced between your mobile devices not any data sets you may have created from your computer in an attempt to fix syncing. Click NEXT and enter the same encryption password (passphrase) for syncing as before and click FINISH. If your data set is synced back into your computer it will be as a second computer data set, you can’t change the sync method and need converting into a primary computer data set as below. Also, you may find a lot of old, maybe closed accounts or other accounts you have removed from the side bar reappearing in the side bar. Use the “+” sign at bottom of side bar then ADVANCED to tidy up the side bar.</p>
<p>Procedure for converting a secondary data set into a primary data set.</p>
<p>Do a FILE – EXPORT BACKUP in case something goes wrong.</p>
<p>To convert a secondary data set to a primary data set you need to run the attached script md_convert_secondary_to_primary_data_set.py in Moneydance 2019.<br>
With your data set open click WINDOW - SHOW MONEYBOT CONSOLE use OPEN SCRIPT to select the script and click OPEN then RUN. Wait until the script has run, this may take some time. Close and reopen Moneydance. You should now be able to change the syncing method, leave it at the current syncing method.</p>
<p>You should now find all your devices are syncing again with your primary data set recovered.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483695992020-05-31T14:23:26Z2020-05-31T14:23:27ZMy Windows based moneydance has stopped synching <div><p>Thank you for your help.</p>
<p>I reloaded Dropbox on the PC … and got everything to work</p>
