Dropbox?

Post by junk2drive »

Any computer savvy people out there know of a way to get the email turn feature to send the pbm file to a dropbox folder automatically?

It does not appear to be possible - the game saves directly to the Save Games folder. If you have your saved game files distinctly labelled, you could use a dropbox program to specify the FP:G saved games folder as the dropbox, and it would then be possible for however many people on the network to identify the PBEM of their interest, action it, and save. I am unfamiliar with dropbox programs available today, I don't know if that's possible or not. It would be the closest you could get to FP:G automatic dropbox functionality. It would also mean that your singleplayer saves are in the dropbox automatically, but that may or may not be an issue.
