Use Dropbox to share workspace with another computer

It’s possible to sync your EasyBilling data between two computers using Dropbox or another cloud storage service like Google Drive or OneDrive. This method allows you to access and work on your files from multiple locations.

The following guides use Dropbox as an example, but you can apply the same steps for other cloud storage services like Google Drive or OneDrive.

Important: This method requires that you only run EasyBilling on one computer at a time to prevent data conflict. All computers must be using the same version of the software.

Before You Begin

• Install the same version of EasyBilling software on both computers.
• Install the Dropbox desktop application on both computers and ensure it is running and syncing correctly.

On the First Computer

1. Open your Dropbox folder on your computer. Suppose it is in C:\Dropbox\
2. Create a new, empty folder inside your Dropbox folder for your workspace (e.g., C:\Dropbox\EasyBilling\).
3. Open EasyBilling.
4. Go to the menu “File > Switch Workspace“.
5. In the pop-up Workspace list, click the [+] button to create a new workspace.
6. In the new window that appears:
   
   • Enter a name for your workspace.
   • Select the option to “Start with an empty workspace“.
   • Click the [Browse] button next to the “Folder Location” field and selecting the empty folder you just created as the location. (C:\Dropbox\EasyBilling\).
7. Click [Save] button.

After saving, the new workspace will appear in the workspace list.

Select it and click the [Switch Workspace] button at the bottom to switch to it. You can now create documents and work as you normally would.

When you’re finished, close EasyBilling completely and ensure the files begin syncing to the cloud.

On the Second Computer

1. On the second computer, open your Dropbox folder. Suppose it is in D:\Dropbox\.
2. You should find the “EasyBilling” folder appear under D:\Dropbox\
3. Wait until the D:\Dropbox\EasyBilling\ folder has completely finished syncing. All files should appear locally in your Dropbox folder before you proceed.
4. Open EasyBilling.
5. Go to the menu “File > Switch Workspace“.
6. In the pop-up Workspace list, click the [+] button to create a new workspace.
7. In the new window that appears:
   
   • Enter a name for your workspace.
   • Select the option to “Connect existing workspace“.
   • Click the [Browse] button next to the “Folder Location” field and select the same local folder in your Dropbox (D:\Dropbox\EasyBilling\).
8. Click [Save] button.

The new workspace will now appear in the list. Select it and click the [Switch Workspace] button. EasyBilling will now be connected to the same workspace, and you will have access to all your documents.

By connecting both computers to the cloud-synced folder, you can seamlessly work on your documents from either computer, as long as you do not run EasyBilling on both computers at the same time.
