Cloud Storage and Sync

http://www.dropbox.com

To set up another PC where Dropbox is already installed, and configuration files are already synchronized, just run the 'ln -sf …' command line.

Documents

cd ~ rmdir Documents ln -s Dropbox/Documents Documents

Gnote with Dropbox

mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/Config/ mv ~/.local/share/gnote ~/Dropbox/Config/ ln -sf ~/Dropbox/Config/gnote ~/.local/share/ kill -9 `pidof gnote` # Reload

Tomboy

It doesn't work properly to just sync the Notes folder, so we sync the synchronization folder instead.

mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/Notes

Configure Tomboy synchronization to Local Folder ~/Dropbox/Notes.

Empathy

mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/Config/Empathy mv ~/.mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg ~/Dropbox/Config/Empathy/ ln -sf ~/Dropbox/Config/Empathy/accounts.cfg ~/.mission-control/accounts/

Remmina

mv ~/.remmina ~/Dropbox/Config/Remmina ln -sf ~/Dropbox/Config/Remmina ~/.remmina

Upgrade

Stop the client

rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist

Restart the client

Windows Multi-User

Install as admin

Un-link the Dropbox account and delete Dropbox folder out of My Documents

Delete the Startup folder entry

Move the Dropbox menu folder to All Users and add permissions for Everyone (Read+List+Execute)

Move the Dropbox folder in Application Data to All Users and add permissions for Everyone (Read+List+Execute)

Once a user runs Dropbox and configures it with their own account, a Startup item will be created (which doesn't work?) as well as a Desktop icon Move
