Our household has one iMac and one iPad. Our iMacs have separate accounts for each user so we would each like to be able to use Reunion while in our own account. Can we each have a DropBox account and place our Family Files in them and have them accessible to a single iPad? I know that we have had trouble trying to sync two iTunes accounts with the iPad so are concerned something similar would be involved here. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

To share a "folder" in your Dropbox folder, do this...
* Open your Dropbox folder.
* Right-click or Control-click on the folder you want to share.
* Select Share This Folder. Then, follow the prompts in the window that opens to invite others to that shared folder. (Be sure to allow the other account to edit the contents of that folder.)
Then, follow the steps (beginning with step 3) found here...
...to put your family files into that shared folder and to connect to them in ReunionTouch on your iPad.
Be sure to always keep the family files in that shared Dropbox folder on the iMac.

Re: Can a single iPad access two different DropBox accounts?
Thank you! We will give that a try.
Ooops! Spoke too soon. I looked at this more carefully and have a few questions:
1. Am I correct that we both need to have our own DropBox account?
2. Then one of us creates a Shared folder, puts both the Reunion files into it and invites the other person to Share the Folder--??
2. Currently both our Reunion files are in one person's DropBox and are linked from the iMac to the iPad. Before changing things, should we delete those Reunion files from the iPad?
Thanks again. I appreciate the step by step approach that Reunion specializes in!Last edited by M Dalton; 03 January 2016, 09:32 AM.
