Do you have the dropbox app on every computer, so that the files can be
accessed through finder? I use Google Drive to sync phenix project
directories between my 3 Macs, and usually it works perfectly. If I run a
job on one computer, I can open a phenix gui on another, and it will show
the intact job history, including jobs run on a different computer.
Sometimes I get a error that 'this is not a valid phenix project directory'
when I attempt to import a job folder created on a different computer.
When that happens, I just make a new sub-folder within it, make that the
new project folder, and move on...so maybe I'm running into the same
problem as you and ignoring it. Usually it's problem free however.

tried Googling for info on this without success. I have tried sharing but
it doesn't work because Phenix uses the full path to the project, e.g.
/Users/derek/Dropbox/project rather than ~/Dropbox/project, which would
work for all users sharing the project. I tried manually editing
project.phil in the .phenix directory, but at the end of a run of
phenix.refine it was overwritten again. Is there somewhere
(job_history.phil?) I can replace /Users/derek with ~ so that it the change
will be permanent? I think that this would be a very effective way for me
to set up a project being run by one of my PhD students involving people
from at least 3 labs that could have opinions on the refinement! /Derek P.S. We are all using Macs. _______________________________________________
