Then the answer would be "yes", you could still upload / edit files, since Dropbox is not locally stored on your computer."If my computer is not on, can other people still access the files on Dropbox, or if I am away from my computer but have another means of accessing the internet, can I still upload to Dropbox and edit files there..."
.No. I’m talking about learning MySQL and LiveCode before moving the dB over to a server.Opaquer wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:53 pmRight, so with MySQL I can have a local database that LC can have access to over the Internet, but I'll have to leave my computer on for it to be accessed?JackieBlue1970 wrote: Fri Jan 31, 2020 4:15 pmNeed to get acquainted with using and working with databases. You can download MySQL (or other open source DB) and install it locally. Install the tools and such with it. Follow a tutorial to create a basic database. Then experiment with LC to connect and access the data - inserts, updates, deletes.

As much as I didn't want to use Dropbox, I can't think of any other free ways of doing it, though I'll keep looking at some paid options since they aren't crazy expensive. I guess I'll see how I go with it
