I don't know about everyone else's setup, but I bot through two computers.

There's my desktop, that I have everything on Ultra and play my account. And then bot while I sleep.

And then there is my laptop, that I have on the banister of my computer desk. It runs the other five bots spread throughout WoW.

It has always been a pain in my tuckus to build a profile on my desktop, fish for and find my Flash drive and toss it over. And it was even more annoying to have a developed and knowledgeable Badnodes on my laptop, and then when I run it on my desktop... My little harvester derps up all night.

My first attempt was to share a a folder over my network and stick Gather/Honorbuddy in there, and work that way. For some reason, it didn't work. I didn't feel like fighting with it, so I dealt with it.

And then I learned about Dropbox; and I love it.

Installation is simple; You download a small .exe and it does its business. When it's done, there is a small, native folder on your desktop and in your My Documents folder.
Whenenver you place a file in this folder, however large it is, it's immedietly uploaded to the Cloud. And then any computer with Dropbox (and your login information) will immedietly download these changes.

Just drag, drop, and forget. Use later.

You're also able to use Dropbox through your smartphone, browsing pictures and text files.
I'm loving it, and it makes keeping all of my various bots and useful programs in sync easy. I never have to hop onto my laptop and go "Ffff, I'm three weeks out of date!" and scramble to update everything.

You come with a free 2GB of data, more than enough for Honorbuddy and all of the profiles listed on this site.
What's more is, if you sign up through someone's referral link.. Both you and the referrer get an additional 250MB increase.

So, please, if you decide to check this out...

was looking for something to do this with. i aswell use two computers and always found out a pain to update gb/hb on both.
+rep for good idea and providing a link =)
 
also since you use it quick question. lets say i drop over my three gb folders would it auto update them or do i have to go onto that computer to drag and drop onto my desktop?
 
It auto-updates whatever you place in the folder, to all of the computers sync'd to the account.

The Dropbox folder itself, is like a native windows folder. You can run your GatherBuddies from the folder on one computer, and it'd not affect you running GB on the other computers.


Personally, I'd just have one GB folder and one HB folder and update each when it's necessary.
 
I also use Dropbox for my GB/HB. It's very helpful as long as you have an internet connection to sync and update files. And it's always on your hard drive. You can also go back on the website to un-delete things.
 
i need 3 as i have different settings and it messes with it alot

All you've got to do is drop in all three folders, ensure their names are different. And then run. Update each folder as you normally would on one computer, and the rest will follow. Allow a few minutes for upload and download time, and you're all set.
 
Bumping, and requesting this be moved to Guides.

I'd have posted it there myself, but I just can't for some reason.
