Save File to Dropbox

If you're talking about not being able to see it under "Places"on the left
of the file open popup form, you have to build up the path manually in
Windows anyway :-)

Click on "Windows C:" under places, then double-click "Users" in the right
hand panel, then double-click your user name in the right hand panel - keep
doing this until you've navigated to Dropbox and whatever folder in Dropbox
you saved your data file in, select it and click open.

I have a similar setup using Dropbox on a number of laptops running
Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu, only I use a file synchroniser (FreeFileSync) to
sync only my GnuCash data file between pc's as I can't be bothered synching
all the log files etc that go with it.

I also sync my saved report configurations and preferences separately.

Cheers Dave H.
