Hi,

> It is so easy already, just drag the .xm dive log file into the dropbox folder. I do that regularly. What might pehaps be useful is a slightly more complicated facility that does auto-backup of the xml dive log onto dropbox, given a user-specified interval between backups. There are some security issues that would need to be thought through, though. It rudimentary to write a bash/rsync script to do exactly this if one already runs the dropbox application but it may be nice to have it built-in.

this sounds far too complicated to me. I just have my default file in my dropbox (so no need for copying). And dropbox has some versioning build in, so at least I don’t care about this (the versions are only accessible via the dropbox website. For my default xml they show 12 different versions going back to the end of April).

Best
Robert
