Hi Nat,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your reply. However could it be that it works for you because you have the same user name on each Mac, so that your home directory is always /Users/nat (or whatever)?. Thus the hard-wiring of full paths into the Phenix files would not be a problem
for you? In our case there are at least 3 users with different names (in different countries!) who might want to access the same project. Otherwise I would think that Google Drive should behave just like Dropbox?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sure J�rgen's idea would work but it would be nice if possible to avoid creating a separate common user. I don't remember having done this since we had a "data processing account" on our microVAXes for integrating film data at Oxford in the early 1990s
:-) Any other ideas?</div>

<div>Do you have the dropbox app on every computer, so that the files can be accessed through finder? I use Google Drive to sync phenix project directories between my 3 Macs, and usually it works perfectly. If I run a job on one computer, I can open a phenix
gui on another, and it will show the intact job history, including jobs run on a different computer. Sometimes I get a error that 'this is not a valid phenix project directory' when I attempt to import a job folder created on a different computer. When that
happens, I just make a new sub-folder within it, make that the new project folder, and move on...so maybe I'm running into the same problem as you and ignoring it. Usually it's problem free however.

Hi,<br>
<br>
Has anyone ever successfully shared a Phenix project through Dropbox? I tried Googling for info on this without success. I have tried sharing but it doesn't work because Phenix uses the full path to the project, e.g. /Users/derek/Dropbox/project rather than
~/Dropbox/project, which would work for all users sharing the project. I tried manually editing project.phil in the .phenix directory, but at the end of a run of phenix.refine it was overwritten again. Is there somewhere (job_history.phil?) I can replace /Users/derek
with ~ so that it the change will be permanent? I think that this would be a very effective way for me to set up a project being run by one of my PhD students involving people from at least 3 labs that could have opinions on the refinement!<br>

P.S. We are all using Macs.<br>
