another computer just with one mouse click!

Dropbox" main menu
item:

computer. File name in Dropbox folder will be inserted
automatically, but you can change it, if necessary.

you click "OK", your current database will be copied to
Dropbox, and Advanced Diary will remember database file association
with the file in Dropbox for the future use.

databases\" folder for your

storage and it can be loaded from other computers.

in Dropbox with the current database, or the path to Dropbox folder

dialog window:
In
this window you can set up a path to Dropbox folder on your
computer and select one of available databases in this
folder.

associated with active database, in Dropbox folder, and remove all
associations for this file.
