Living in two Worlds: Win7 and OSX -> TheBrain and TheBrain Cloud Services

Steve,

The sync process has improved a lot during the last few months and it is quite reliable. This is key because otherwise I wouldn’t be willing paying for it.

Regarding a virtual link to a folder on Dropbox: I don’t use Dropbox but Google Drive. Google Drive is like Dropbox an own folder on each machine. It is not working with my system because the naming of the folders is different:

Win (work): C:Users/UserName/Google Drive/
Mac: /Users/UserName/Google Drive/

If you can have the same UserName on both machines (I can’t change this on the work notebook for security and consistency reasons) then I think this should work. Just give it a try.

My workaround: I drag the required folder into the brain on each system seperately. TheBrain creates two folders with the same name while the working folder is yellow and the not working one from the other system is white. Agreed, it is not an elegant solution but it works.
