Double checked the ~/LIbrary/Application Support/TextExpander folder and yes, it's an alias pointing to the real folder (~/Dropbox/TextExpander). Dropbox and TE are turned on on both computers, so can't be that either. Help please...? Thanks!

Dropbox and TE are turned on on both computers, so can’t be that either.

Help please…? Thanks!

When you click on Dropbox, it will detect these. If you subsequently click on None, it will copy your settings back to your Mac and will remove the symbolic link. @Charles Hall: TextExpander 3 understands the two blog post methods for setting up symbolic links.

Now that version 3 supports Dropbox, how should I remove the links and allow version 3 to natively support Dropbox? I installed the links under version 2.

Just run it and discard it. If you want to reverse the process, just follow the directions in reverse. Disable TextExpander, delete the TextExpander symlink in [Home]/Library/Application Support/ and put the TextExpander folder in your Dropbox back in [Home]/Library/Application Support/ @Joe: You don’t really need to save the Automator workflow.

Does it make any difference where to save the workflow file? Also, I don't have an automator folder. Can I make on in the home directory? Last, how would I reverse the process I I decided I wanted to go back to normal defaults? Thanks Joe Automator asked to save the file. Does it make any difference where to save the workflow file?

It sounds like you've tried using MobileMe to sync your snippets and the results have not been good... have you already contact TextExpander support to see if they can help?
