I have sucessfully been using Dropbox to synchronise files between 2 computers although I am not sure which folder to put in Dropbox so that all the settings (flags,custom queries,diagram colours etc)are the same on each.Can anyone help.Probably a very simple answer!![grin]

Dropbox and settings
I don't know if Dropbox have added support for folders outside of dropbox yet, if not you could simply export and 'config' items you change to a dropbox folder and import them on the PC.
I know on the Dropbox folders it's a much asked for item.
There is a way to get around it, but it's a bit tricky and is Windows version dependant on how to do it.

I had thought it would simply be a case of putting the relevant file/folder in the dropbox folder as I have done with my project folders.Since this does not seem to be the case which file do I need to copy to my other computer so that the settings can be the same on both? Thanks[smile]

No the problem is the Family Historian settings are stored in the 'program data' area of your OS, which is controlled by the operating system and not Family Historian directly.
