Korshub's take
Overview
A focused, 15-minute lesson on protecting your Scrivener work with Dropbox backups and customizing the Scrivener interface. Note: this is an excerpt from the full course "Scrivener | Everything You Need to Know from Idea to Launch," so it's redundant if you're already enrolled there.
What You'll Learn
- Setting up a Dropbox account for Scrivener backups
- Redirecting Scrivener's backup folders to Dropbox
- Storing Scrivener projects on Dropbox to work across multiple computers
- Adjusting interface colors for better readability
- Assigning label colors to documents, visible in the binder, index cards, and outliner rows
Who It's For
Scrivener users who want a safety net against a lost or crashed computer, and who'd like a more visually organized, readable writing environment.
It's a short, targeted lesson rather than a full course, aimed at solving two specific, practical problems quickly.
About this course
PLEASE NOTE That this is an excerpt from Scrivener | Everything You Need to Know from Idea to Launch. If you are enrolled in that course you have no need for this one.
Never lose your hard earned work again. Dropbox is a cloud storage system that allows you to access data over the internet instead of using your computer's hard drive. This means that you can back up your Scrivener projects inside your Dropbox account and access them from any of your other devices that have Scrivener installed even if your computer is lost or crashes.
In just 15 minutes I'm going to show you how to open a Dropbox account and get your Scrivener software to redirect your backup folders to it. Then I'm going to show you how to store your actual Scrivener projects on Dropbox so that you can switch between any of your computers that have scrivener installed whenever you want to work on your projects.
Then I am going to show you some of the useful ways you can adjust the colors of the Scrivener user interface for optimum readability as well as how to assign different label colors to your documents and have them show up in your binder, on your index cards and in your rows when you are in the list style outliner view
