dropbox + bitcoin-wallet's encrypted wallet file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to be able to use bitcoin wallet in combination with dropbox to 
sync an encrypted version of the wallet across several devices for protection.

Bitcoin inherently does not support multiple wallets with the same key. Thus, 
the "sync" usecase you described will probably never be implemented.

If you just want to backup, this is already covered by issue 10.

I have used the same wallet on my Nexus and Galaxy Note for about a month with 
no issues. I just backed up the app with titanium backup and restored it on my 
nexus. Sending a transaction on one makes it show up on the other (same with 
receiving). Is this a bad solution?

As long as you wait for I'd say about 30 minutes after switching the wallet, 
the risk for unintended double spending is quite low. Still I do not recommend 
this type of setup.

That said, there is now version 2.3 RC available for testing. It can 
import/export wallets to external storage.

In a way, this is now implemented by being able to export to and import from 
Google Drive (and other services that implement the correct intent filters in 
their apps).

Still, it is unsupported to use Bitcoin Wallet this way.
