With Cloud Sync you can:
For Cloud Sync to work, you need an internet connection and a free account at Dropbox. And don’t worry - Cloud Sync works over a cellular data connection as well! When you make a change to your budget, that information is sent to Dropbox. YNAB is constantly updating the information it receives from Dropbox so you have the most up to date information all the time!
If you’re using YNAB for iPhone or Android and you’re in a dead spot, any transactions that you enter will be synced when internet becomes available.
If you already have and love another file hosting service,y ou can keep using the service you're familiar with while using Dropbox just to sync your budget for you.
YNAB’s Cloud Sync is powered by Dropbox, an industry leader in personal cloud storage. All your data is totally private unless you specifically share it with others. Data sent from any of your devices is transmitted using the same encryption that bank websites use. Learn more about Dropbox security.
It’s worth mentioning that when you share your budget file with someone, they will have the ability to load it and make changes. Share carefully!
The software will walk you right through it, but we have directions available as well.
