Use XMind with Dropbox
Posted on October 14th, 2011 in Featured | 4 Comments »
Recently, Frank Wang, my friend, a designer in L.A., shared one usage with me. Because of work, he has to swift between a Mac Book and PC. So he installs Dropbox on Mac and PC, and saves all xmind files in the local dropbox folder. Then these xmind files can be synced between Mac and PC. He said although this was simple, but very useful and helpful, esp. for people who like him have subscribed xmind pro and work on multiple workstations.
Dropbox is a very great cloud service that lets us bring our photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. After signing up an account and install on computer, dropbox will create a special folder on computer. Later, it will upload and save files in this folder to your account. What we should do is to save our xmind files at this folder. So simple.
Some people may be strange, why Frank said “especially for people have subscribed xmind pro”. Because XMind promises, Subscribe one time, Enjoy XMind Pro anywhere*. Yes, Anywhere!
XMind Pro uses subscription model. Once you renew your XMind.net account with subscription code, no matter where you are, Office, Home, or in a Subway, just launch XMind, sign in with renewed xmind account, then you can enjoy XMind Pro features. Even when on a colleague’s computer, you can also launch the installed xmind, sign in with your renewed account and uses XMind Pro features to show your work.
If having interest, begin to try now!
*Normally, you should need internet access to sign in and activate XMind Pro features.

I am using Ubuntu Linux with XMind and Ubuntu One.
Same thing, different system.
That’s a great idea, I love using DropBox. Since I have XMind on my work laptop and home desktop, DropBox eliminates the time and need for a lash drive file transfer.
My team is using Xmind & DropBox to support our collaboration needs. The combination is outstanding and allows all to have access to the latest and greatest, but also provides ability to easily manage files locally and on different machines. Here is case where 1+1=3.
@Mike yes, that’s why we recommend people use the cloud service with xmind together. In current world, we should use great tools together instead of letting one tool offer all features. So people can focus on their area and make the tool better and better.
