Dropbox Users: Sync your Eos Show Archive

Caution! Rather geeky.

Windows Vista and above allows you to create symbolic links - you can read all about them on the web, but they (more or less) allow you to create a folder in one location that is a clone of another folder. Changes that you make to either location happen in both.

With this, you can create a symbolically linked folder in your Dropbox (or other cloud product) location which points to your Eos Offline Show Archive folder.

Sample instructions:

  • Open a command prompt (as an Administrator)
  • Use standard commands to navigate to your Dropbox folder, such as "cd" for "change directory"
  • mklink /d "EosShowArchive" "C:\Program Files\ETC\Eos\ShowArchive"

Now when you save shows in Offline (and of course as a Client), these shows will also be available in Dropbox. Also, if you have multiple PCs, now their various ShowArchive folders will sync as well!

NB: There are various free tools available which mean you don't have to use DOS commands. But we all love command lines, right? :)
