This tutorial shows you how to back up your Scrivener projects inside your Dropbox account and access them from any of your other devices that have Scrivener installed even if your computer is lost or crashes. So you will never lose your hard-earned work again.

In just 15 minutes I'm going to show you how to open a Dropbox account and get your Scrivener software to redirect your backup folders to it. Then I'm going to show you how to store your actual Scrivener projects on Dropbox so that you can switch between any of your computers that have scrivener installed whenever you want to work on your projects.

This is useful for people using Scrivener for Windows, Scrivener for Mac, Scrivener for screenwriters, novels and other long-form writing projects.

This is an excerpt from a full Scrivener tutorial course for both Windows and Mac at kazzprince.com
About five hours of tutorial videos will take you on a complete walkthrough of how Scrivener works including:
✓ How to open a project and customize your workspaces.
✓ Toggle between normal Text Editing Mode, Cork Board Mode, and Outlining Mode and how to use each of them as well as how to use the distraction-free Full-Screen Mode.
✓ Split your screen to have two documents or two versions of the same document open at once.
✓ Manage your files and folders, whether you are starting from scratch in Scrivener or want to import your content from another writing application pre-sorted into chapters or sections.
✓ Make use of Scrivener’s editing tools like collections and snapshots (which takes a snap shot of the current state of a document so that you can revert to it if you don’t like your subsequent edits).
✓ Compile your work for export to your agent, as a paperback or as an eBook.
✓ How to download some tools so that you can preview your content before you send it out.

Don’t forget, you can get full Scrivener courses covering everything about how to use it, as well as free Scrivener cheat sheets at:
