Suggestion to Garmin about My Collection

Former Member over 14 years ago

Dear Garmin developers
For some time I have stored all my files from MapSource in my Dropbox-account. That way I can open and work with them from any computer.
As far as I see this is not possible with BaseCamp. If this is possible, can you please explain how to do this. If not, can we expect this function in a future upgrade?
Kind regards
Joachim Seehusen.

Thank you for your suggestion.

We would like BaseCamp to work with Dropbox as well. It's on our list of things to do for future updates. Sorry, I cannot be any more specific.

It will most likely not be in 3.3 yet.

Will this also work with Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace (Groove)?
I suggested the following under a different thread:

This may in some ways be related to having multiple databases, but is probably a more general approach than having just "My collection1", "My Collection 2" and soforth. I would suggest named databases that can be located anywhere on a computer or on a network.
What I need is actually a way of accessing the same BC database from several computers simultanously on Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace (Groove) in Search and Rescue situations. We currently do that with Mapsource (.gdb-files). It is not a true multiuser situation, but Sharepoint Workspace has a rather crude way of handling that which works OK.
I think that the possibility of "Opening" a specific named BC database would enable the same functionality in BC, so I am looking forward to "Named databases" in BC
