So I think if I use Bookmacster on just one Mac, iCloud will transfer the sort order (and content), so what extra would Dropbox syncing bring?
That's a good question, Mike.  The answer is that, since you are only using Safari, Dropbox will add nothing to your bookmarking experience.  Safari can sync to Safari on other Macs via iCloud.  Firefox can sync to Firefox on other Macs via Firefox Sync.  Google Chrome can sync to Google Chrome on other Macs via a Google account.  Opera can sync to Opera on other Macs via Opera Link.  Unless you have technical issues or privacy concerns with one of these services, if you're only using one browser, you should use their built-in syncing service.

For those browsers that have a built-in syncing service, it is all about syncing among different browsers and different Macs.

Dropbox and iCloud questions

I have two Macs, two iPhones and one iPad and only use Safari. iCloud has mostly done a good job of syncing bookmarks between them, including transferring the sort order, but not actually sorting alphabetically of course.

I want to use Bookmacster to get the sorting done.

So I think if I use Bookmacster on just one Mac, iCloud will transfer the sort order (and content), so what extra would Dropbox syncing bring ? Is it mainly about other browsers?

Thanks
