Help with transferring a save from one computer to another

[WordsWinWars]

I am trying to transfer a save from one computer to another. When I send it as an email attachment, it is being sent as a ".ootp16lg" file and not the proper ".lg". I don't own a flash drive, so that won't work. You can't put folders onto Dropbox so that is out of the question.

Sure you can put folders on Dropbox, I do it all the time. I don't know if OOTP will load a game FROM Dropbox, but you could just copy the league folder there and then copy it to the saved_games folder.

If the league folder is too big for Dropbox, just zip the folder up and put the zip up there instead. Then just unzip it into the right spot on the second computer.

Or just buy a flash drive, they're almost free these days.

I second this one. I get so many free 4-8gb drivesI don't even have use for them all. You can pick up much larger ones for the price of a couple coffees.

The save "Expansion Team" is in the correct format of ".lg". (https://gyazo.com/1ecc8fe81467288d40d01acceb10a25c) Yet when I go to "Load Game" it only shows the "Fictional League" save.

PC or Mac?
Where is the .lg saved?
Is it in C:/Program Files/OOTP/OOTP16/?????
Is it still in DropBox?
It has to be moved to the OOTP saved games folder.

I see an Expansion League.lg folder and an Expansion League.lg.zip file. If the folder is empty, that might be why the game isn't recognizing it. But I can't tell from the screenshot.

The "Expansion Team" folder has all of the files. When I unzipped the file, everything went into that folder.

I figured it out. I put the file folder in a folder that had the same name.
