3.4 version introduces the Dropbox synchronization.
Dropbox is a file hosting service that allows to synchronize folders between several devices.
Linking MyCookBook to your Dropbox allows you to backup your recipes, to synchronize recipes between different devices, and to access your last 100 backup !
You only need to create a free Dropbox account to use the feature.
In the action bar, select dropbox in the dropdown list.
You access the dropbox website and you can login to an existing account.
Or you need to create a free account.
Grant My CookBook to access the MyCookBook folder of your Dropbox
Once My CookBook is linked to your Dropbox account you can see your files on your dropbox account.
The export button in the action bar will save all your recipes into your Dropbox.
If you select a file, the import button will allow your to import your file.

I tried to sync before I did backup and got the connection error. Then I did backup first, and sync began working. I believe you mentioned that earlier, and that’s how it worked on my Droid.
Yes, we have to change our error message
Great news, thanks
Love this app, does all I want and more.
The icing on the cake would be the ability to import recipes straight from dropbox. Will this ever be possible please?
We will try to do something
Are u suppose to be able to use my cookbook on computer thru dropbox, meaning write in new recipes on computer, then be able to download to phone? I have alot of my own recipes to imput, but harder to do on phone then on computer.
Not yet…
Dropbox is used only to backup your recipes. But we will probably improve it in the future.
I’m using the My Cookbook Pro over WiFi…. trying to sync my last 100 files onto my nexus. Drop app is installed.
Have you backup your recipes on dropbox before trying to click on sync? There may be an internet connection error if we click on Sync and if my cookbook can’t find on dropbox the backup file. We have to change our error message!
Continually getting Internet connection error. Using a Google Nexus.
