Hi,
I read that Moneydance isn't capable of syncing the data between Phone and Mac via WiFi anymore, that you decided to remove that feature and force the user onto cloud syncing via Dropbox? Can you confirm or is WiFi Sync still offered?
Thanks,
Chris

   Hi Chris,

   Wifi Sync is no longer offered for Moneydance 2015, you can still find it in the extension manager for the 2014 version and earlier.

   We recommend switching to Dropbox syncing as it's more stable, robust, and there are unfortunately some issues with Wifi syncing that we can't fix due to certain network configurations over which we have no control. As well, Dropbox syncing is end-to-end encrypted, meaning that all your data is encrypted between your Moneydance application and your Moneydance iOS app, with none of it being unencrypted on your Dropbox folder. For these reasons, we've stopped maintaining the Wifi syncing functionality and are unable to fix most problems with it.

   Hope this clarifies things a little more!

   David,
   yes that clarifies it, unfortunately also kills your product from our evaluation list.
   WiFi syncing is being used by many other products without problems exactly because users do not want to use a cloud service.
   Even if the information you place into the Dropbox is encrypted, you can't guarantee what happens to it - it's simply not your server.

   Fair enough, please let us know if you have any additional questions, and thanks for your interest in Moneydance!
