![]() Unfortunately I can't shed much light on the inner workings but Dropbox has worked well for us for about 10 years now. We have even done a few tests between our workstations to purposely open CAD at the same time, open the Catalog database and make changes, save them and exit ACADE letting Dropbox sync and we couldn't prove data loss. Whenever ACADE is opened it locks the default_cat and ace_plc database and the lock files like the databases themselves are individual files being synced to each system - so how Dropbox and ACADE and Access database edits all work together - I'm not exactly sure. We have seen a few issues with duplicated databases being named as a Dropbox "conflicted" file (a sync error where it duplicates & renames the file it can't merge the changes for) but it is rare. You are correct they are truly local files and individual copies on each workstation but at least for us when Dropbox syncs it manages to merge them without losing data. ![]() ![]() We have two primary CAD designers and it's not too uncommon for us to both be making edits to the Catalog database - but we have really built it up enough over the years to not need many edits for most design jobs anymore.
