Shared library (dropbox) sync between 2 laptops

Hey guys,

Had my first weekend of gigs using Rekordbox cloud and Dropbox.

I had my DJ laptop already set up at my gig and wanted to add edits at home on my main laptop as a bit of an experiment.
I was stoked to get to my gig and see the edited track on my other laptop ready to play! Pretty awesome guys!

I was a little bit confused about the way that RB cloud/Dropbox handles files though. 
There were a lot of tracks in the playlists that were "greyed out". 
I had to manually search for them on my gig computer where they still existed, but because of the double-ups between the 2 systems, it meant I was constantly having to find the playable version of the track every time.

Is there a way for both computers to have a singular library?
And if there are tracks on one computer but not on the other, make it so

only those tracks are added to the library?

I really love where this is going by the way, with a cloud-based library.

Very much looking forward to future refinements.

Many thanks

That's weird.. I'm using the cloud-based library (with dropbox) myself too and never experienced this.
Seems like your library-file is shared, but not the files?

In Rekordbox you can right-click a playlist and turn on "Auto Upload", I think this might fix your issue.
You can also keep an eye on the "Rekordbox sync" icon that tells you when it's syncing.

Thanks for the reply,

Yeah, I've done all the uploading and syncing, but I still have a bunch of greyed out tracks.
I have a sneaking feeling that one of the libraries hasn't 100% uploaded to dropbox. I'll see how I go once I've done that.

That track simply means the library has sync'd it but the song is not available in Dropbox.
