@JonW - On the note of using Dropbox as a save-file syncing option: For games that have no way in-game of changing where saves are stored, you can move the folder containing the saves to Dropbox, and create a symbolic link (using symlink in command prompt) of the save game folder in it's original location. You'll need to do this on each PC. see the steps I wrote for syncing the .minecraft directory here: Is there any way to synchronize a list of servers in Minecraft?

For DayZ you don't need to: your survivor is saved on DayZ's central server, and it's linked to your game's license key, so that will travel with you. To use Dropbox for non-DayZ Arma savegames, you'd have to work with symlinks, which is a whole other question. | |

| May 29, 2013 at 22:25 | comment | added | JonW | Can you use something like Dropbox for storing (and ideally for running) save games? i.e. set the save game location as your dropbox folder? | |
