Syncing with Dropbox in Windows #126

Open kayoungc opened 8 years ago

kayoungc commented 8 years ago

I have other note-taking apps (nvALT, 1Writer) on other devices that sync to the same folder in Dropbox and I would like to sync the nvPY on Windows with that same folder as well.

I installed nvPY on Windows following the instructions in Windows step-by-step for beginners (I made a Simplenote account in order to finish the installation process). I have the program running but cannot see an option to change the sync location.

Operating system: Windows 7 nvPY version: 0.9.4

I'd like to bump this question. Is there a way to use a Dropbox\Notes folder and sync that way?

I know this is an old issue, but on Linux, I use symbolic links to my Dropbox folder.

ln -sf /home/user/Dropbox/nvpy .nvpy

In Windows, you can use junctions to achieve the same effect.

mklink /D link C:\Users\user\Dropbox\nvpy

Link is where say nvpy stores the data on Windows. I don't know where it stores it though.

I recommended using the db_path option. Please add the db_path option to nvpy.cfg.

# nvpy.cfg
[nvpy]

# For linux.
#db_path = /home/user/Dropbox/nvpy
# For windows.
db_path = C:\Users\user\Dropbox\nvpy

@yuuki0xff @hced Does this solve the issue? (I can't test on Windows) I guess the issue could be closed.
