Hi, I've posted this on the apple communities forum but not had much luck with a solution, then found this site so hoping someone can help.

I recently found an article on how to sync safari bookmarks using Dropbox. Article can be found here: http://macs.about.com/od/CloudServices/qt/Sync-Safari-Bookmarks-Using-Dropbox.htm

I'm using a latest 27" iMac, running Lion as my main work machine, along with a MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.

I've followed instructions in the article and got my MBP to sync with my iMac.

The problem occurs when I add a new bookmark on either mac, it seems to create a new .plist in the safari library folder as opposed to updating the one in my Dropbox. Thus not syncing.

I'm aware that if I upgrade my MBP to Lion I can use iCloud to do all this but I ideally need a solution now.

If this will not work then I somehow need to revert back using terminal I guess but I have no idea what to do.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
