I’m tethered to my home office with all the design software I use, but I would like to be able to use RW and all my stacks, plugins, themes and snippets on my wife’s laptop for access while traveling. Any advice on a smart way to set this up? I’m the only user and I would only need laptop use when w…

I’m just taking on this challenge today, actually. Quite a few people have been able to store their add-ons in Dropbox successfully, so long as you make sure to let Dropbox finish syncing after you use it and don’t have projects open on both computers. @zeebe and @PaulRussam are the two users in pa…

I do this without Dropbox. I simply copy the RW files back and forth and have my add-ons folder on each computer. RW will update all stacks/add-ons on each computer, so I don’t have any issues.
