DropBox and Cadsoft Eagle time saver

[TiZakit]

I'm not sure how obvious this was to anyone else, so I figured I'd share.

I use several PCs to do work on, and I was tired of re-finding all my libraries.

I've set up folders in dropbox to receive all my Eagle files. Project, CAMS, libs, and DRUs.



You can then set custom directories in eagle, under the options menu. Just separate them with a semi-colon, or click browse and eagle will do it for you.



I've not run into any hiccups working like this yet, and it has saved me so much time.

I like the setup (beyond not trusting dropbox overly much), but I suspect that the PSU section is the wrong place for this thread

What if he was designing power supplies?

I saw Electronic Devices and went "Eh, close enough."

You could be paranoid like me and backup the dropbox folder as well.

That user creations forum concept would be a perfect place for this, really...
