I would like to save my GnuCash files to dropbox so I can edit across both my Macbook and my PC. Saving to Dropbox hasn't been a problem on my Macbook. I am able to simply select the Dropbox folder in the file tree when opening or saving from GnuCash. GnuCash on my PC does not show the same parent file list as my Macbook, Dropbox isn't on the list. It only shows C: and shortcuts to desktop, etc. I can clearly see dropbox in my normal Windows File Explorer but not GnuCash. How can I save to or open from Dropbox in GnuCash on PC? How I stumbled on a solution We work from DropBox in Windows. Took a while to figure it out. I think the secret is to install the DropBox app on the Windows computer. It should place the Dropbox icon in Windows file explorer. When it appears there, it should be available in GunCash. At least that's how it worked for us. I accessed it through the menu path, file/save as. The window that pops up to save as shows the file pathway at the top of the box that shows the list of files as a series of buttons. I go to the far left, in my case it shows Toshiba, the name of the PC. From there the file structure that is in Windows file explorer should show up in GnuCash. I use GnuCash on my personal PC as well and that file structure shows DropBox and OneDrive. Hope it works. Pretty handy one we figured it out.
