These computers have distinct files outside this dropbox folder to which I need to have bookmarks. So far, I have not found a way to do all the necessary parts. I tried to find something like this in the extensive documentation for bookmarks+. I think that package is overkill for my usage. 1. I need to load both sets of bookmarks, local and global, so to speak. 2. The bookmarks to files in the dropbox folder do not need to be saved and loaded separately. 3. Bookmarks that are local to each machine must be loaded, but must be saved separately in a local bookmarks file like ~/.emacs.d/localbookmarks.txt . The deeper I dig, the more complicated it looks. I would appreciate any ideas. I thought of org-mode, and I like and use it, but it would be much simpler to use the canonical bookmark facility of Emacs.
