jekratz Thanks, yes reading around there shouldn't be a problem with DEVONthink but I haven't been clear whether DEVONthink links with its indexed files automagically, or whether I will have to change anything, even reindex them in the new location.
I am still waiting for my download to complete, and don't want to investigate anything until Dropbox has finished.
BTW You mentioned putting DEVONthink database itself on Dropbox. This is an absolute no-no. You have to use a syncstore..... which is what you must be doing if you are syncing without having the database itself on Dropbox.

I have now sorted DEVONthink and Moneydance successfully.
Moneydance was a matter of changing the sync method to select the new location for the syncstore. (The app will need changing because you cant just select the "Dropbox Folder" method anymore.
DEVONthink I actually created new Databases and pointed them at the new location. I could probably could have reindexed the old databases, but felt easier and cleaner to create new.
I also had to change the location of my family tree app (Reunion), but that was straightforward.
Moneydance and Reunion on the iPad and iPhone syncing weren't affected as they use a different method. Not sure about DEVONthink To Go on the iDevices yet but don't anticipate a problem.
