Now whenever your addons (or saved variables) change it's sync'd to the cloud and back to your other computer. |
This is a
phenomenal idea!
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work exactly as specified above for W10 Pro 64bit {for me, at least}. I've tried using both Dropbox & Google Drive, as well as, using different types of links {junctions, smart copy, hardlinks, etc} & every time I try to link the 2nd computer's addon folder to the already created Dropbox/Google folder, it just creates a new folder & links to that one.
So, while I can't figure out {yes I looked at all of the Link Shell Extension documentation} how to make it work as described above, it does work wonderfully for at least keeping 2 junctioned folders on Dropbox that I can easily copy/paste between.
Kudos to Sasky for providing the link!!
