dropbox setup

I am confused, I would like to migrate my local source database to dropbox, can you give the step by step ?

I tried creating a dropbox data source but i'm confused at the data path (the GUI also is messed up on that field actually, it overlapse a little), and i'm not sure how to replicate the local source to dropbox because the local is MDB and dropbox use XML

Hi,
It's easier than what it seems.

1. Open you current data source (Access) and use the menu File->Export->All Sessions (Including Credentials).
2. Create a new Dropbox data source. The path is related to Dropbox and not your local machine. For example enter "RDM" for the Dropbox directory and "Connections.xml" for the filename
3. Import the previously exported data with the menu File->Import-> Session List

I hope this help

Ok,
You can specify a path before the file name:

MyData\Connections.xml
