I want to work with the same e-sword data on my home and work computers. Is that possible?

Yes it is. That said, the best way you can achieve that is by having your files based on a File Server (the cloud), such as Dropbox, One Drive, or Google drive, and access them from there. Another way you can do it, if you don't want to go with a cloud provider, is get you own personal (private) cloud, such as an Ethernet NAS personal cloud, e.g., WD (Western Digital) MyCloud.

 

However, the one thing you need to be able to do before anything else, is have permission from your employer to have e-Sword installed on the companies computer, unless, you are self employed and own the work computer.

 

I trust this is helpful to you.

 

Blessings,

Tom, you may have to make some adjustments in order for e-Sword to know where these files are located. From the File Menu choose - Options > Resources. In this open window, revise the "Resources Location" and/or "User File Location" to match your Dropbox folder. You will also have to move any e-Sword Bible files, dictionaries, etc. to this same Dropbox folder so that e-Sword recognizes their location.

 

A word of warning, though. Depending on the setup, I've found that sharing e-Sword files across a network can cause severe lag within e-Sword itself.

 

May God bless...
