Regarding using dropbox for osu! [resolved]

Does anyone know if it's allowed for me to do so? I uploaded my osu files on dropbox so I can share the songs with my friends, and vice-versa. It's convenient as we don't have to download the same songs as many times as there is the number of us.

As the files sync by themselves, we can receive a song update as another friend downloads a new file, even as we're playing.

Are you just sharing the songs folder? You don't want to share your configs/database because they contain your account information and more.

Actually I threw my entire folder in lol. Which are the files do I have to take note?

It would be better to only share the song folder, to avoid complications.

All of the files apart from the Songs directory should never be shared.

Noted. Unsharing the folder except for the songs folder. Is there anyway for us to run Osu and allow it to read from a song folder in another directory other than its current one?

BeatmapDirectory=
in your config file. note that this isn't supported behaviour, so YMMV.

Cant seem to find the BeatmapDirectory. Is it the cfg file with my computer name?

yes, open it with notepad, and change the line that says "BeatmapDirectory=" (or create it if it doesn't exist), and write the full path of the shared folder directory (example: BeatmapDirectory= C:\Things\Songs)
