Syncing configuration with Dropbox

Sun Oct 13, 2013 4:06 pm
Hi all!
I am using Dropbox to access to my music collection from different computers. It is very handy and I was wondering if it would be possible to store Amarok config files into the Dropbox folder to sync the configuration and the database information among different computers... is that possible? Can I change the location of the config files from Amarok?

While this might be possible for the configuration files, I would not recommend it for the database as it would change too frequently (due to updating of playcounts, etc) which would overburden Dropbox. It would also mean multiple computers would be attempting to change the file at the same time potentially - which could lead to some very nasty crashes or data corruption bugs.
