Hi!

I'm using BS2 on two or even 3 computers: desktop at home and laptop at work for inventory maintenance/ordering/recipe planning and my netbook when breweing. Currently I'm exporting/importing recipes to dropbox folder but such manual synchronization is major PITA.

Is there a way to share common database between computers?

From FAQ:
Where is my data stored?  How do I back it up?
BeerSmith 2 stores all of your data under the Documents/BeerSmith2 directory by default for easy backup.
In BeerSmith 2 you can also change the data directory using the command to change directories on the File menu.  If you change installation directories, BeerSmith will overwrite any data you have in the new destination directory, so please be careful when performing this operation.

Will this work if I point this to dropbox folder?
 
I am doing this with dropbox.

Was doing this with BS1 as well.  Even easier with BS2 because you can specify a different data folder.
