Easy way to support syncronization

Post by identity76 »

Could be by making Essentialpim syncable by using third party services such as dropbox. (http://www.dropbox.com)

Right now when you open a database in Essentialpim the file remains "in use" and therefore if you modify anything the new modified file is not syncronized through these third party services until you close the program. If Essentialpim could work on a temporary file and always save and close the database file this would be easily syncronized using these services.

Morevoer if Essentialpim could detect if Dropbox (or any other such sync service) changes the Database while the program is running and if the user has not any pending changes to save reload its database the solution would be perfect.

Example:

You are at your work computer and add some appointmens to Essentialpim. You go home and turn on your computer. Essentialpim will load, but the database will not have the links you have added at work at this moment. Dropbox will download (without any need of user interaction) the database changed at work. After Dropbox is done, Essentialpim will automatically reload the database and the new added appointments will become instantly available at home.

Thank you. There are lots of such services, if we make dropbox, it is just a small part.

I support this request.

If you make Dropbox you got experience to do a lot of others :-)
