Syncing between Mac and Windows using Dropbox
I have seen a thread about how to sync between 2 Windows platforms using Dropbox, but I need to know how to sync the save file on my Mac using dropbox so my Windows can use it. I already know how to make a link between my Windows save file and the one in Dropbox, but I don't know how to make a link between "~/Library/Application Support/FasterThanLight" and "~/Dropbox/FasterThanLight" on my Mac. Can anyone help?

Re: Syncing between Mac and Windows using Dropbox
Possibly the following command, in a terminal:
This is untested, I don't have a Mac.
Code: Select all
ln -s "~/Dropbox/FasterThanLight" "~/Library/Application Support/FasterThanLight"

Well there's no error when I press enter so I assume it worked. Thanks.boa13 wrote:Possibly the following command, in a terminal:
