That looks very usable for the share-via-dropbox scenario. However, you have to make sure that dropbox files are synced all the time. Really sure.. That can be tricky. The database can easility be corrupted if one computer "forgets" to sync. For example when you close your laptop and it goes into standby without dropbox completing the sync.

Also this is ofcourse not a solution for the issues that we encounter using a true networked database.

But still a usefull script. Thanks.
