Yes, it is for both backup and syncing as well as for sharing with others. If you give others permission, they can look at some of your files even if they don't have Dropbox. It doesn't matter what version of RM you use. You can put any kinds of files in Dropbox: photos, word processing, spread sheets, etc. Jim Bullock Littleton, Colorado -----Original Message----- From: rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Judith Harper Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 8:06 PM To: rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: [RMagic] A More basic question about dropbox I have been happily plodding along still using RM3, partly due to finances, partly because I've followed with some confusion all the varied questions on the list every time there's an upgrade. However, I'm interested in the small discussion about using Dropbox. I hadn't heard that before. Is this for backup AND for syncing? Can somebody please tell me which version of RM this facility became available? Would I have to go right up to version 6 to access this? And do I take it that this only involves Dropbox? I've currently using SugarSync for backup and syncing (and loving it) but I guess Dropbox is much the same. Thanks for any help and answers. Judith Harper Nelson, NZ
