Dropbox would go crazy and would not function.
So a bad idea.
So, what I wanted was to write some code that at least kept a backup copy of the cookies concerned. Should I ever need to use on another computer, I would have the needed files at hand. (Which I would store in my Dropbox folder.)
So... I just need to identify the files concerned.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.
| I tend to keep physical backups, using an external hard drive. That's the best way, rather than relying on cloud based system (which are still good). For what you're trying to do, may be worth looking into.
One thing I didn't quite understand was your concern with syncing/backing up portable browsers to a dropbox folder. I can't see any issue with that?
Perhaps running the browser direct from dropbox may be an issue, but if you "sync" the folder to the system you're using it on, it should be fine. From my understanding the file names etc. aren't long. I haven't tried this myself, but I cannot foresee an issue. Perhaps worth trying before giving up? |
