Road Trip uses Dropbox for on-line backups and for syncing between multiple devices. Backups occur automatically and your data can be easily restored or transferred to a new device. It is the easiest way to ensure your Road Trip data is always backed up and secure.

If you're not already a Dropbox user, it's a free service and you don't have to install any additional software on your iPhone or desktop computer. Visit http://dropbox.com to create a free account, then sign in using Road Trip.

Quick Start

To set up Dropbox Sync in Road Trip, please follow the steps below. If you have multiple iOS devices, begin on the device that has your most current and recent data.

1. In Road Trip, select More -> Sync and Backup and choose Dropbox as your syncing service.
2. Enable the Dropbox Sync option. You will be prompted to sign in to Dropbox.

   Note: You do not need to install the Dropbox app on your iPhone in order to use Dropbox Sync. If the Dropbox app is not installed then Road Trip will allow you to sign in directly to your Dropbox account.

3. Select Sync with Dropbox. This will send your data to Dropbox.

Finally, repeat these steps on your other iOS devices.

Automatic Sync

Road Trip will automatically sync with Dropbox after you add or edit data. This ensures that your data is always backed up and available to your other devices. Automatic syncing occurs when you exit Road Trip and return to the iPhone home screen.

Road Trip will also check for new data from your other devices when you launch the app. The activity indicator in the top-left corner of the screen indicates that Road Trip is downloading new data from Dropbox.

You can use the Sync with Dropbox command at any time to ensure that you have the most recent data from all of your other devices.

Sync Status

The current sync status is displayed on the Sync and Backup page. A green checkmark indicates that all of your data is backed up to Dropbox.
