Dropboxifier is best used with Dropbox. Don't know what Dropbox is? Well, it's only the coolest online storage solution out there! Dropbox looks just like a normal folder on your hard drive, but when you put stuff into it it gets uploaded online using some very clever cloud-based technology. What's better, is that any data you put on Dropbox will be automatically downloaded on any computers you have Dropbox installed on. With Dropbox you can share folders with friends, so they also get any new data you place in your Dropbox, and can interact with it! You also get a public folder where you can add files and get direct links to them to share with the world.
Backup and share saved data between multiple computers with Dropboxifier
Enough about Dropbox. What's Dropboxifier? Well, Dropboxifier simplifies and streamlines the process of adding folders to Dropbox and creating symbolic links.
What does THAT mean? Simply put, Dropboxifier can fool applications into reading and writing directly from Dropbox. Saved games and profile data can be placed in Dropbox, a symbolic link (or junction point) put in its place, and external applications are none the wiser, so they will read and write directly to your Dropbox folder. Doing this on one PC is great since Dropbox itself is a fantastic online storage utility, but do this on more than one PC and suddenly all your machines reading are writing to the same data! Genious! This means that multiple PCs can be using the same browser data, saved games, you name it! It's all automatic. Gone are the days of dragging around USB drives and manually replacing files and trying to remember which computer has the latest version of your data.
In Dropboxifier, each entry is referred to as a "link" - short for symbolic links. Dropboxifier handles linking of multiple systems easily - simply add a link on one machine, then go to your other machine and resolve the link so that Dropboxifier knows which folder needs to be linked. Simply follow the onscreen instructions. Unresolved links appear as red in the list, while resolved links are green.
Dropboxifier has no dependencies, so you can even put the single Dropoxifier executable into your Dropbox for some brain-busting Dropbox action!
