title: Syncing a mongodb database over dropbox
body: <p>I use a mongodb database called 'mydb' in a local wep-app I'm developing and want to sync the db files over Dropbox, so I will have it available on all my development machines.</p>
  
  <p>Whenever I insert some new data in the database, the files 'mydb.0' and 'mydb.ns' don't seem to change. So Dropbox doesn't sync anything. Any ideas here?</p>
  
  <p>I know this might sound like a horrible idea, but I'm the only database user and I never run the database on more than one machine at a time. Also I don't share the files with anyone else. It's just to take care that I can continue on another machine exactly where I left.</p>
