You could link the folder to the dropbox folder... then the host generates the files and they are there... the player plays his turn which has links to the dropbox folder as well.. Smile

I'm being really dense today.. It took me 3 re-reads to understand what m.a@stars meant.. and I can't even get around to what you said Sad

Perhaps if I understand why you would want to link a folder to the dropbox folder and not just use a dropbox folder.

Your option would still mean only 1 player host has the ability to generate the turn. Won't putting a password on the host file suffice?

We still would come to a point where the host has played his turn and goes to sleep. The other player comes online, plays his turn, submits.
Now with dropbox, he could have generated a turn and played the next turn as well.

With this 'linked-folder' approach, it would mean waiting for the host to come online and generate the turn.
This would restrict the number of turns back down to about 1 turn a day.
