Well I created a jmri folder in my Dropbox like I have done in the past for other files. Followed the instructions from the link to jmri help that was posted. Everything went fine. Roster was saved or moved too this location after the restart of jmri. When starting my operations program as I have always done. Everything is gone and the program acts like a new startup.

Soat this time my files are in jmri but the program is not following the path to find them.

Did you set both of User Files Location and Roster Location to point to your new jmri folder on Dropbox?

If you use both DecoderPro and PanelPro, you'll need to check both.

Please do a Help->Locations, select all copy and paste that for us all to see.

When moving the roster, the folder called "roster" contains all your loco entries and the entire "roster" folder must be placed within the new JMRI folder. You can move the "roster.xml" file if you wish or ignore it. It is easy to recreate.

A common mistake is to point Roster Location to the "roster" folder instead of the folder that contains the "roster" folder. This is bad and you end up with nested "roster" folders or worse!

Show us your Help->Locations.
