Sync Things across multiple Macs via Dropbox
Authored by: wallybear on Dec 02, '10 07:57:19AM

Note: Things files could work well in dropbox (they have no resource fork), but remember that Dropbox does not handle resource forks, so be aware you could risk your data integrity for certain files.
You can partially fix the problem creating a FAT32 disk image on your Macs and making dropbox folder sit there. Doing so the correct handling of resource forks will be assured by OS X (on m$dos drives OS X stores resource forks as an hidden separate file, that dropbox handles correctly).
