Paolo -
The sysprofile.do is a two command .do file executed when Stata first runs.
Assuming you are using Windows, the following two commands are in the file:
sysdir set PLUS "C:\Users\[localusername]\Dropbox\ado\plus"
sysdir set PERSONAL "C:\Users\[localusername]\Dropbox\ado\personal"
where [localusername] = whatever username Windows designates for the
particular account.
The other variable here is where your actual Dropbox / Cubby /
GoogleDrive local drive is stored.
Save sysprofile.do into the root Stata directory and restart Stata.
You should see a confirmation echo that sysprofile.do was called.
Type "sysdir" in the command window and you should see the directory
locations for PLUS and PERSONAL are changed.

However, when you run -adoupdate- Stata does not seem to have a list of the installed ado files. So I wonder if there is a file with the list that is updated every time you install an ado that -adoupdate- reads and we ought to copy as well.
