Sync Camino via Dropbox

I get my Camino to sync between my Mac at home and work via Dropbox. Here's how:
- Make a backup copy of your ~/Library/Application Support/Camino folder.
- Download Dropbox, then activate a Dropbox account if you have not done so already.
- On your first machine, move (not copy) your ~/Library/Application Support/Camino foder to your Dropbox folder.
- Symlink your user's ~/Dropbox/Camino folder to ~/Library/Application Support/Camino with this Terminal command:
$ ln -s /Users/Dropbox/Camino /Users/Library/Application\ Support/Camino
- Repeat the same move/symlink process on your second (and third, etc.) Mac.
In this way, Camino uses the synced Dropbox folder as its profile folder; when you open your Camino, it will be the same on both machines.
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one. The basic process could be used to sync settings in many types of apps, obviously.]
