Can Voyager be used with Dropbox?, How to use TB! Voyager with Dropbox
 
#1
0  
If I switch from The Bat! to using Voyager (taking into account I'll have to upgrade from Home to Pro) can I use a dedicated Dropbox directory/folder to hold my messagebase instead of having this on a USB Memory Stick?

One change I guess I will have to do is to setup (define) the appropriate local copy of the Dropbox directory as a local drive letter (e.g. T:\).

Are there any other reasons to not do this?

If it is possible, then how do I move my existing TB! Home messagebase into the Voyager setup?  Guess via the Backup/Restore facility.

Thanks
Richard

Do you want to use Voyager anyway, or is it just in an effort to move your message base into the cloud?

In the regular The Bat, the location of your message base is specified in Options | Preferences | System (but a different folder can be specified in the properties of each account). If you can assign a local drive letter to your Dropbox folder, I don't see why you couldn't use Dropbox with your regular The Bat. I imagine that it might work quite slowly when you want to search the whole message base though. Also, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing this unless the message base was encrypted.
