Rosetta Stone data on Dropbox

Question

I'm currently trying to learn a new language using Rosetta Stone. Given that I have 2 computers (mac desktop and laptop), I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to have the data files in Dropbox so that I can synchronize my learning across computers.

Answer 1

The answer is yes you can (but there's a little more to it than dropping files in a folder):

Go to:

/Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone Version 3

Edit dynamicStoredPaths.xml

BEFORE:

<localDatabasePath>/Library/Application Support/Rosetta Stone Version 3/tracking.db3</localDatabasePath>

AFTER

<localDatabasePath>/Users/USERNAME/Dropbox/Rosetta Stone v3/tracking.db3</localDatabasePath>

Note - Replace USERNAME with your home directory name.

Copy tracking.db3 to your dropbox location (note that above I created a 'Rosetta Stone v3' directory and copied it there).

You should be all set. (This is how I use it today - works well.)

You should save copies of the original files incase of any typos or errors.

Answer 2

As long as the data files can be placed inside the Dropbox folder, and are less than about 2GB (for the free version), then this should work fine.
