I’m trying to install the volume manager add to sync sites via drop box based on the thread here:

I have cloned the Volumes Manager to my addons folder inside ~/Library/Application Support/Local/addons/
I have downloaded the tar.gz newest edition from git, and installing manually gives me the error:
This happens in Local in general. What am I doing wrong?
You don’t need the Volumes Add-on with Local 5.x. All you need to do is create a symlink in the file system.
Ah thanks. Is there any documentation on how to create that? I’ve never hear of a symlink before.
Thank you! So - am I creating a symlink between the Local Sites folder on my HD to the Dropbox Folder, and then same on my other machine? What’s the main scope here? Thanks for your help!
You would create the symlink similarly to how you used the Volumes Add-on.
I actually never got the Volumes Add On to work - I only cloned it from GitHub to that folder, so I’m a little out of the loop there. I’m trying to work on the symlink using terminal like so:
So my understanding is doing something like this in terminal:
ln -s /Users/sackadelic/Local\ Sites /Users/sackadelic/Dropbox/Local\ Sites
Am I correct? Again, I appreciate you helping out a newbie.
I only use symlinks for individual items in the wp-content directory. I don’t know how it will behave with the entire site.
But posted code looks correct. After executing it you should see the results in the Dropbox folder.
