Opensong + Dropbox = Crazy Delicious
After choosing your songs, you can freely and easily create your slides and have them synced with the projecting computer using OpenSong and Dropbox.
Here’s our workflow:
- Worship leaders have OpenSong and Dropbox installed on their computers at home. We set-up OpenSong to read/write the songs in a shared Dropbox folder.
- As a result, whenever anyone updates a song or set, all computers are immediately updated — include the computer which projects the slides at church.
How do you point Opensong to the shared folder? I am trying to do this for my church. I can figure out how to get my folder on Dropbox but am unsure how to get others to point opensong to the shared folder location…

Just go to General Settings > Special > Documents Folder
then browse to the Dropbox folder.

Hey, this a great idea, one that I’m starting to use with my church. Is there a way to have opensong point to 2 documents folders – one in dropbox and one separate? So you could have a personal folder and a shared one? I’ve been trying to work something out but haven’t got very far…
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan: That is a good question! I’m actually not sure of the answer, but best bet would be to post that question in the OpenSong forums.
