Sync Your Fonts With Dropbox Tutorial
Posted on August 3, 2010
This is a bit technical, but designer friends have no fear.
I want my fonts on all of my computers. Dropbox makes it easy to share files between computers. Why not put my fonts in Dropbox?
Disclaimer: Backup your stuff before doing this.
- Go to your home folder in Finder.
- Copy your
Library/Fontsfolder inside your home folder into your Dropbox folder. Be sure it all copied before moving on. - Open Terminal in
/Applications/Utilities. Don't worry. This won't be hard. - Type
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Fontsand press enter. It will ask you for a password, type the password you use to login to your Mac. - Type
ln -s ~/Dropbox/Fonts ~/Library/Fontsand you're done!
That was easy right? Repeat these steps on any other Macs you use. Just drag your fonts from this folder into your Dropbox fonts folder and do steps 3-4. Enjoy.
Update: Turns out that Photoshop doesn't like this, so it's probably pointless. I thought it was a cool idea though. Stupid Photoshop.
Pro Apps

Pro apps suck. I wish they didn't.
Apple would never ship an app that looked and worked as bad as Final Cut that they expect normal people to use. Why is it okay if it's a "Pro App"?
