Sync Notebooks and Scrivener
If you use Scrivener 2 for your writing projects, there is an easy and convenient way of syncing your projects with Notebooks.
You find more details here: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/blog/?p=157
This basically is what you do:
- set up a Dropbox account to sync Notebooks (www.dropbox.com)
- install the Dropbox client application that makes sure that you have a copy of Dropbox on your local computer, too
- create a book in Notebooks and call it "Scrivener"
- if you have more than one Scrivener project to sync, then you might create a book for each project within this Scrivener book
- sync with Dropbox to make sure this structure is created on Dropbox
- in Scrivener, set up "Sync > with external folder" and point it to one of the project folders on Dropbox
Scrivener will now place a copy of its documents into this folder on Dropbox, and when you sync Notebooks, they are transferred to Notebooks.
After making changes in Notebooks, sync again and the modified documents will find their way through Dropbox into Scrivener, and vice versa.
The only thing to remember is to sync Notebooks regularly.
