Found Footage: MacOSXTutorials explores Mac Dropbox tips (TUAW.com)

Aug 31st 2010 9:07PM I use Dropbox for… well.. everything. But my most recent amazing use of it is to sync Safari 5 extensions across all my macs (I have 3). It’s actually very easy to do as well.

Taken from (http://bit.ly/9Enb5P)…

1. Move your Extensions folder (from /Library/Safari) to your Dropbox folder (/Dropbox by default)
2. Open up the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities)
3. Type the line below
ln -s ~/Dropbox/Extensions/ ~/Library/Safari/Extensions

The third step creates a symbolic link so that when Safari looks for the Extensions folder, it is redirected to the shared folder on Dropbox, which will sync automatically.

On other computers, first move any extensions not on the first machine from the Extensions folder in Library/Safari/Extensions to the Extensions folder in Dropbox, then delete the folder in Library/Safari/Extensions (if you copy the whole folder as in step 1, you will overwrite the first lot of extensions. Then, type the line from step 3 this second Mac.
