Hi!
I would like to use Org mode with MobileOrg over Dropbox and have all
my org-agenda-files synced between all my computers, that is, my home
computer, my work computer, and my mobile. Currently, as I understand
MobileOrg and org-mobile-push/-pull, MobileOrg is only really designed
to sync between one computer and your mobile. I have checked the
manuals and the internets, but to no avail.
As I can hardly be the only person with two computers, a mobile, and a
desire to keep my org-agenda-files in sync between these three
computers, I’ll pose this question here: How do you have this set up?
Thanks!

I am using git to sync several laptops and Desktop computers.
Every 5 minutes a cronjob runs a shell script that automatically runs
=git pull= -- and =git add= on org files as well files listed in the
=.gitcroncommit= file. The commit message is comprised of the filenames
of all changed files as well as a prefix for detection in git logs
("cron autocommit", parameterized) and the hostname.
The auto commit is performed only if
- no files have been staged manually.
- git is in the auto branch (where mine is always). This prevents
cluttering the git history of the master branch.
When I change computers I run
[[http://www.neilvandyke.org/revbufs/revbufs.el][revbufs]] and can thus
quite seamlessly switch computers and just work on.
I know, tracking of text changes in 5 min intervals is obsessive. But
it eases agenda clocking reviews tremendously. I use git log for
displaying changes during an entry in the agenda.
I do not use MobileOrg because, when I last checked, the Android app
was not able to handle all my org files (it would need some fiddling
on what exactly I want mobile) and seemed to lack functionality
compared to the iphones. Maybe I will give it another shot shortly.
I guess when you have synced org files across all your emacs instances,
pushing and pulling to mobileorg from any at (nearly) all times is possible.
I am glad to share the code, but it needs some cleanups and some stuff
is first emacs-lisp steps, clumsy and irresponsible.
Best,
Gregor

If you want to switch from a pulling to an interrupt system, you
might be interested in http://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/dvcs-autosync
