As long as you are on a recent version and it depends how ‘whole’ / complete your Dropbox folder is.</p>
<p>Install MD.</p>
<p>MD.<br>
1. At welcome screen, open other, then I think it’s open sync copy.<br>
Or<br>
2. File. New. Open sync copy. Select the Dropbox folder. Select your dataset.</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/557094822022-09-12T16:59:12Z2022-09-12T16:59:12ZHELP - restore to PC from Dropbox folder?<div><p>#2 did the trick.

<p>While recovery from the sync data is possible it cannot always be guaranteed to work and depending on the problem you are trying to recover from it may be corrupted and hence unusable.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/557094822022-09-13T06:42:32Z2022-09-13T06:42:32ZHELP - restore to PC from Dropbox folder?<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi swanky333</p>
<p>As dwg suggests make sure you have Moneydance created backups.<br>
One way to do this is set up backup under PREFERENCES – BACKUP set up auto backup using a remote location such a as a folder in Dropbox. Then even if your computer fails and you need to setup again your data can be restored using Moneydance's RESTORE FROM BACKUP.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/557094822022-09-13T15:18:22Z2022-09-13T15:18:22ZHELP - restore to PC from Dropbox folder?<div><p>Thanks to all. I'm ordinarily a bit compulsive about backing things up but, duh, didn't think about the local .moneydance folder suddenly becoming unavailable. I'm now backing up to the cloud.</p></div>swanky333
