DigiKam and Dropbox

[Andrey Goreev]

It depends on how do you write the information. If you write to jpegs themselves and/or xmp sidebars might get away having two different databases. But if you store tags, ratings etc. in the database that has to be same .db file for both computers.

Agreed on both editing.
Where do I store the database files, would there be a set of database files on the one computer and a another set of database files on the other computer.
I guess I could point the program to the actual photos on each computer based their actual location.

Probably the only proper way to share digikam database between 2 computers is using mysql database but it is still status "experimental" for digikam.
As for the using Dropbox it might worth to give it a shot. Depending on the user case it might work. I don't think you will be able to edit the database from both machines at the same time though.

I'll ask a different way....
What is the best way to use DigiKam with dropbox on two different computers.  Both running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
The photos are stored on a dropbox folder on each computer.
