oh great. i was not aware of that functionality. do you recommend that over the dropbox method?
yeah, i have used a screen shot too. sure wish there was a ui file to save and load. oh well. thanks for the quick response!

Yes. the SCF Plugin Store tool is a much better way to manage your plugins. Besides, it gives you direct access to hundreds of plugins/extensions and auto installs them. Dropbox won't do that for you.

i have been using it for installs...brilliant!
looking at managing capabilities now. -
One small thing to note, Plugins from other sources won't be included in Bundles. It can only recognise ones you have downloaded through the Sketchcation tool.
You'll find a handy tutorial for bundles here.

there are several threads on this issue now and i just realized i never posted my solution to using dropbox as a source for plugins to enable synchronization between multiple machines.
i have it listed in detail here:

Or you can create a plugin bundle using the SCF Plugin Store tool and use that to synchronize plugins between computers and automatically install the plugins as needed. AND you can use it to check for updated plugins, create customized load sets and more.

Dave, is there still an issue with that not working with plugins from other sources?
