necessary to do that? I know some people already that just put their
userpref.blend file in dropbox and then put an alias/shortcut/symlink in
their Blender folder. That way it syncs every time Blender is started.<br>

but I would like some guidance to the Python API for Blender and
writing Blender add-ons in the first place. Is it possible to be
notified inside the add-on when the settings have been changed by the
user and trigger a sync?
