I’m sure it’ll be helpful! Don’t forget that it works with any similar synchronization service, and not just Dropbox.

Provided that the idea actually work, it wouldn’t cause any problems. Cellphones can’t really do anything with those registry files (plus you’d just leave them in Dropbox and not place symbolic links on there either), and the registry entries being synchronized would only be for the application, and not system.

All that, again, is when the idea actually works, where I still have doubts.

Link Shell Extension? That sounds a lot like link because Gnome Shell has “shell extensions”.

I just symlink most of the folders in %appdata% and that gets most of my settings. For game saves I find the folders in my documents or wherever they are and symlink them with Link Shell Extension.

I’ve been doing something like this for a while with Link Shell Extension. Right click on the file or folder and select “Pick Link Target” then got to the folder in dropbox and select “drop as…” and pick symlink or hardlink. This app just seems to make it a tiny bit faster. Link Shell Extension is almost as simple as copy and paste.

According to https://www.dropbox.com/help/12/en it seems that a tool like Dropboxifier is the only solution for now.

In that scenario, using Firefox Portable Edition would probably work out a little better than regular ol’ Firefox.
