    Dropbox will work now for free as-is, as Alex mentions. It is great if you ALWAYS know exactly which file has the latest updates and NEVER make the mistake of editing before a Dropbox sync is made. Considering that Dropbox isn't an active sync on the Android or iDevice, and that there is little to no notification on Dropbox's part as to which device has the latest copy, the ability to control the updates is only going to be aggravating to say the least.

    Consider the case where you update your PC, sync your mobile and then do edits on your mobile device. Later you set up your laptop and it starts doing its automatic Dropbox sync. You can end up in the situation where your unedited PC copy is newer than your edited mobile copy, particularly where you have multiple PC's. You might have it all straight in your head, but your PC's are working against you behind your back. I'm speaking from experience here.

    If you need to move large completed MLO files, you can use Dropbox as the file app it is designed to be.

    It won't take very many instances of lost data or unwanted overwrites and you won't be able to trust your task management system. That's one of most under appreciated and insidious ways to cause you stop using your system to its fullest.

    Ladies and Gentlemen. You don't want this. Trust me. The beauty of what MLO has set up is that he is syncing records, not files. If a Dropbox solution is set up, it can only compare one whole file with another whole file. This is the least efficient way to sync two sets of information within a file, like MLO is doing. It causes considerable data loss if you aren't VERY careful about which machine holds the latest copy of the information. The chances of you forgetting which machine has the latest version or a sync failing when you thought it went through creates a situation where you start to distrust your system.

    Dropbox syncs files. MLO syncs records. Smells the same, but it is fundamentally different. Pull your votes from here and put them somewhere else.

    I love black background with white text. Only add colour if it serves a purpose, not for decoration.

    I'm hoping for the same colouring filters on Android that the Win Desktop has. Then colour serves a purpose.
