Hi Guys

Here's what i would like to achieve: i have a Mac is use for DJing and a Mac i use for prep (actually my work mac!) - i have my mp3s stored on Dropbox and they are synced to both Macs.

I would like if poss to have my collection/analysis also on dropbox so i can load my latest cues/plays etc on either Mac (note: i never open both at same time)

I have tried using the backup/restore option but having problems with folder naming and missing tracks

is there a better way of doing this?

I don't think your way of working is officially supported.
One issue could be the sync steps don't have the same time stamp.

Have you tried using 3.3.11 rc as this has a minor change on analysis file name.

Your syncing should be done at idle moments as it might interfere with Cross activity. To sync the collection Cross should be closed and the journal file should be processed (background process).
