This might be more suited in the Online Leagues folder, and if so, feel free to move this there mods.

I have a question that I have faith that this board can help me figure out:

So I finally convinced my roommate to buy OOTP 16, and we want to do a league between the two of us. Now I'm semi-computer savvy, but I haven't done any FTP file sharing for a long time, not since I ran a basketball sim, but things have changed a bit.

The easiest method would for me to use a pre-set service like allsimbaseball where it will do everything for me for $5 a month, but because it is just between the two of us, I do not want to pay anything, and I don't need any fancy service.

Last night I tried setting up a DropBox account where we would easily share the files. but I couldn't get it to work, either because he has a Pc and I have a Mac, or I just didn't do it correctly.

From talking to other commissioners from my online leagues, they suggested that I use DropBox and have my roommate put his team exports in there, and then I can import them.

First off, is there any easier way that people have used?

Secondly, if this is the best method, what/where are the files located that my roommate would need to put into the dropbox, where do I then put his file, and what do I do in the game that would upload?

Thank you for all the help in advance!!
