I'm not sure how your account sharing is setup: if you are all using the same credentials, you will probably run into trouble. Each Dropbox account will only get a single 'magic' MobileOrg folder, so if everyone is sharing a single login, I don't see how it will work. It would probably be possible to change MobileOrg to support specifying the folder in your Dropbox account that it should use, but I have reservations about that. The way I use the API now, MobileOrg only has access to its own sandbox/special folder. There's no way it could accidentally mess with/expose/etc your other Dropbox files. The other option is to let each user have their own Dropbox account and simply share folders from a master account to each person. Hope this helps, Richard
