I created two user files: User A and User B. However, when try to open User B file on another computer (computer B) it says the file contains an incorrect schema...I thought to try to create the user B file from computer B from the central file but computer B does not recognize it as a central file. I know I was able to do this before but for some reason I cant this time. Help
Also, I am using dropbox. I thought maybe this was a path issue so I made sure that the path was the same on both computers. But is still does not work.
Maybe I shouldnt have but I had to create a new central from a local file because the local file at one point would not sync with the central...
Well, I'm sure I've confused everyone by now...

I don't believe you can use dropbox with a central file. Please re-read your help on worksharing.

What do you mean? My file was started in the drop box.
Revit by default always creates a central file in the C drive. But even when I copied the central file in the drop box, it worked before.. now it does not work at all.

Worksharing in revit means that all computer must have the same path to the central file. The central file has to be only 1 file to handle real time managment of keys and permissions. Therefore we have tested and concluded that Dropbox cannot be used to host the central file (there are a few websites that also show that central file cannot be shares using dropbox). Are you working on a local area network or sharing a project over the internet?
