I wanted to file a request for officially supported synchronization of preferences and metadata snapshots.
This is come up multiple times in the past of course:

Except this week on assignment something got screwy and all my preferences reset to default.
It wasn't the end of the world, but it definitely threw me off for a couple minutes as I had to browse around and try to get things back how I like them.
I assume Dropbox either didn't start right or something else happened that caused PM to reset the preferences.
I'd love to see an officially supported method to handle this synchronization that has proper safeguards in place to avoid issues.
I've long been a fan of Panic and they have a native service that handles this across all their platforms:
