It just doesn't make sense from an engineering perspective. It makes sense from a certain point of view: all user specific data is in its own folder. You are asking for more folders in order to differentiate where those user files are stored. This is of course entirely possible but it is a use case that appears to be a very low priority to Sierra Chart. I would agree, as there are other ways ways to accomplish what you want: syncing two PC's \data folders without constantly re-syncing SCID files. Counting on DropBox to keep two Sierra installations in sync is a shotgun approach, and not suitable for large files that are constantly changing. An easy way to do file-based selective syncing was already suggested.
