Thank you, A most interesting post, but unsure how it works. You still use PAF on your desktop/laptop? Or did you move everything to dropbox. If you work on it from Dropbox, then you Save each piece of data entered, or Save As at the end of your work? No zip backup to flash drive or external hd? I also use Backblaze, but not the same as dropbox. Betsy Hare Kemp
Hi Betsy, I have PAF installed on each of my computers, with my PAF data file (and linked photos) stored in my DropBox folder. The rest is automatic. When I start PAF on any of my computers, it opens the file stored on the local computer in C:\Users\Bill\Dropbox\ (this folder is automatically synched across all of my dropbox accounts, by Dropbox). So I just use PAF as usual. There is nothing new to learn of do, but before shutting down the computer I check my Dropbox icon in the system tray to make sure that my PAF data file has a checkmark on it (showing it has been synched to my Dropbox "cloud" account). People with a faster internet connection probably don't need to bother with that step. I probably don't need to, but I backup my PAF data to my local computers and to flash drives, as well as to DropBox. Yes, "overkill" has sometimes been used to describe my backup plans. :-) Bill Buchanan On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 8:38 AM, B.H.
