Hi Joseph,

The `org-agenda-files` variables tells Org which files (or folders) to use to build your Agenda. It doesn't write anything or save anything to disk.

Why not just move the todo.org file from /home/joseph to the Orgzly folder, and work with it there?

  -k.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to configure  a todo list and I would be  happy to succeed in
getting this todo  list in a todo.org file in  my Dropbox/Orgzly/ but, I
do not understand why it does not work with my setup:

;;file to save todo items
(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("/home/joseph/Dropbox/Orgzly/todo.org")))

The    todo    list   persists    in    being    in   my    home    only
i.e. /home/joseph/ .

Your help with agenda and todo list would be very welcome.

Best wishes
