Greetings all,

I am looking for information on the process of syncing multiple computers. I have my shack computer that I do my main logging, but I also use a small netbook computer when I do logging out in the field (Mostly when I take my equipment out in my house area to enjoy the weather). I would like to find the best way to do this. I have house wireless and also use Google Drive.

Thanks for the assistance,

Todd- KC9LOX

Use Dropbox as detailed in the user guide

Terry, So Google Drive will not work in the same process like Dropbox?

I don't know much about Google drive but if it's a similar system to Dropbox it should work the same.

Main criteria is that all of your cimputers have the Dropbox folder and files and they get synchronised when you have an internet connection using cloud storage

google drive folder is the same as a dropbox folder and play in the same way as cloud
the same consideration done in the manual, as indicated by terry, apply also to google drive

I use Google Drive to access my log on multiple computers, works fine.
Set up your log database in the local Google Drive folder, it will sync to the cloud and be available on your other computers.

Thanks for the replies. I thought google drive would work the same, I just wanted to confirm it. Looks like I got it figured out.
