Move Rules Folder to Dropbox Fri Jun 15, 2018 4:26 pm • by mmandell
Hello,

I'm looking to keep my hazel rules folder on Dropbox so I can:
1. Be prepared in case computer has an issue
2. Be able to share to other computers.

I can't find how to move the rules folder, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks!

M

You can't move the rules folder but you can use rule sync to specify a file to be used.

Keep in mind if you are doing this for backup reasons, I suggest you perform real backups as there's more to save than Hazel and its rules.

Thanks for the insight.

How / what would you do to backup & be able to use Hazel rules on multiple Mac's?

Use Time Machine for backups. To share rules, use the rule sync function. Check the manual for more details but if you right-click on a folder, you should see the sync options there.
