Newbie to both Dropbox and barely conversant in Scrivener, so to ‘save’ my Scrivener projects for ‘cloud type’ backup do I simply create a folder in Dropbox in the name of each Scrivener project and SAVE all of my project work in that folder? Or do I have to set up a synchronization from my normal Scrivener folder(s) to the Dropbox folder and then it ‘moves’ to Dropbox server?
Rather than have a Scrivener folder on my hard drive “My Documents” I also have a Scrivener folder on Dropbox too? Or only need Scrivener to be set-up in Dropbox folder? (this makes sense to me but I don’t want to lose any more files today.)
You could sync from one folder to another in DropBox, but I don’t bother as the DropBox folder is a real folder on your hard drive, too.
You can either move an ongoing scrivener project folder ‘MyNovel.scriv’ to Dropbox and open the project from there, or save a new project straight to the DropBox folder when you start.
They’re in the Mac forums because issues with using Scrivener on DropBox and other network drives arose before the Windows version was even publicly on the cards.
