I have Dragon Dictate 3 and Google Drive on both my work and home iMacs running Mountain Lion. I have a profile I've set up with my work computer on my instance of Google Drive, and I want to use the same profile at both locations.

An instance of DD3 has no ability to open any profile except the ones it's created.

I've tried the trick, which some say have worked for them, of temporarily changing the name of the profile on DropBox, then creating a profile with my home machine at the same location on DropBox, quitting the home instance of DD3, deleting the 'new' version of the profile, and then returning the original profile to its original name, in an effort to fool the home instance of DD3 into using the master profile. I tried that with DropBox, but it didn't work. I've tried the same strategy with Google Drive. No dice.

Have you been able to get this scenario to work?

Versions of the software I'm using (all current):

• Dragon Dictate Version 3.0.1
• Google Drive Version 1.7.4018.3496
• DropBox 1.6.16
• OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
