Of course, you don’t have to worry about security. agilekeychain file into Dropbox’s Public folder you’ll be able to access your 1Password installation from the web? Yeah, that’s a neat feature AgileWeb Solutions introduced with the 3.0 version, and I personally used it a couple of times when I was away from my computer and needed to retrieve a login.
#Devonthink to go restore purchases password
TUAW’s got a useful post about this subject.Īnother tip regarding Dropbox and apps databases involves the much popular password manager 1Password: did you know that by storing the. I did this for Omnifocus, Clipmenu and Things, and it works fine.
As John pointed out in his post about Yojimbo’s Library sitting in DB, you can create a symlink (an alias won’t work) that points the database folder (usually in Application Support) to a Dropbox selected one.
#Devonthink to go restore purchases how to
While it’s pretty obvious to store files and folders into the Dropbox folder (like my wallpapers), I know that many people still don’t know how to link an app database to Dropbox. That said, I use Dropbox for every kind of data I want / have to keep both local and mirrored on the internet: application databases (Omnifocus, LittleSnapper, DEVONthink - just to name a few), MacStories Backups, my wallpaper collection, applications’ backups (Omnifocus, 1Password). If you’re already using Dropbox, go create a referral link and tell your friends and parents to sign up: not only you’ll get additional free space, you’ll also spread the good word about backups. I have a 5GB Dropbox, for free, thanks to people who signed up with my referral link. Just as an internal drive can die, so a Firewire one with all your backups can.Īnyway, there are some other practices I’ve gotten used to follow over time I’d like to talk about.ĭropbox is a great service, which comes free in its 2Gb version and that (I’m surprised by the number of people who don’t know this) can be extended to 5GB with a referral codes system. I think John made some strong points in suggesting to purchase not one, but a couple of external hard drives - as you really don’t know when a hard drive is gonna fail. You’ve probably read John Gruber’s post about backups last week, the one where he talked about his experience with a damaged internal hard drive and, luckily for him, the way he managed to save data with Dropbox, Super Duper, Disk Warrior and a couple of external hard disks.
