Bento Support says it is not supported and only sees local databases. Do you have an idea as to how it could find my addressbook and ical? Thanks.

How do I create one for my Billings database in the Dropbox folder that will link back to the Libary?

I have multiple libraries so my computers are used to having to “find” them in various locations, so it should work that they are located in a different area. Thank you for the link to confirm. I created an alias of dropbox on the MacPro separate harddrive, then put the libraries in it. It seemed to “copy” them into the alias folder and has been uploading for 3 days with about 13 more days to go. It was about 50GB size. I was afraid to use the symbolic link incase I made a mistake that I could not undo, although tempting. Thank you for assuring me that iPhoto will work in DropBox!

Yes, iPhoto can be used with DropBox sync, I have this configured myself. You can do this in two ways. [1] move the iPhoto folder manually to DropBox then create a symbolic link for the folder using the method above in my original post and put the symbolic link in the original place of the iPhoto library. Or [2] follow this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 which shows how to move your library using the iPhoto interface [probably the better option]. You can then choose DropBox as the location for your photo’s and iPhoto will be cool with it.

Hope this helps.

Have a good new year!

Luke

Sugar Sync cannot. All my iPhoto libraries are on a separate internal HD inside my MacPro desktop and in the “Pictures” folder on the laptop. Don’t understand if an alias is necessary? Or, if it will even work for iPhoto? Thank you. Have been searching for answers for many days!

I knew symbolic links are recognized by Dropbox but I didn’t knew Aliases work as well. Fantastic. This makes this process much more usable. Thanks a lot!
