How can I have two computers with Dropbox set up identically?

No, Just the opposite, I want to delete the cloud files, and then let the two PCs synch up with each other.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi @Kelsays, if you delete the files from the site, or one of the computers, the deletions will sync to the other machine.
Once the deletions have completed, you can add the files that you want to sync into the Dropbox folder, or the site, and the files will sync to the other devices.

I have a laptop at my office and a laptop in my home office. I am a sole practioner and I use both in my law practice. I have populated the office laptop with hundreds of abbreviations. I'd like to use Dropbox to "synch" Breevy in each laptop with the other. I just don't how to do that. Can anyone give me step=by-step instructions?

Hey Jeff Chimovitz, thanks for joining the discussion here.
You should be able to achieve what you had in mind by installing the Dropbox desktop app on both of your laptops, signing into the same Dropbox account on both and ensuring that the files or folders you'd like to be synced across your devices are located inside your Dropbox folder.
I hope this helps!
Walter:
1. What is the "file" that I have to have situated in my Dropbox folder? is it "Breevy.exe" or is it the abbreviation data file(s)?
2. I'm "assuming" (i.e., "guessing") that each local Breevy program will "reach out" to the abbreviation data file in the Dropbox folder and substitute the designated item for the abbreviated it. In my layman's terms, the two laptops share the same data file, independently of one another.
3. What is/are the files that have to be in the Dropbox folder-i.e., can i get by with only "my. Abbreviations" file or do I havr to anclude all of Breevy's files? -If you know.
That's enough questions for one session.
