Just don't include your TMG data folders in the Dropbox sync and you should be fine. Default Dropbox install is that you get a Dropbox folder on your computer that mirrors what your account has online. Just don't add your TMG to that. But it gets even better: You do not need to even install Dropbox on your computer to use it. If you merely open a Dropbox account and make a folder for sharing, you can do what you're wishing to do. (Access is via browser only, and files transfer between the cloud and your computer is by your manual effort.) (From my experience and all I've heard, Dropbox is an excellent and helpful service. The only problem is that databases don't "play well" with such services.)

Actually you don’t even need a Dropbox account if the people sharing already have an account all they need to do is give you access to a folder then you can access it via a browser and download the files to your computer. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, the same thing works with other similar services like MS OneDrive etc. Glenn > On Aug 29, 2015, at 11:43, Rick Van Dusen via <tmg@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > But it gets even better: You do not need to even install Dropbox on your > computer to use it.
