Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. It seems like a system like Dropbox or Cubby would work nicely, as the optimal solution would be to have an .ado library that synchronized automatically from whichever computer you used (I have some .ados at home, some others at my office, and so, if I just replaced the whole .ado library on one computer with another, I would lose some of them). How have your experiences been, Christopher and Alan? When you have time, Christopher, could you go a bit more in detail on how you setup the sysprofile.do to direct the PLUS and PERSONAL directories to your Dropbox? Also, Alan, I am not familiar with Cubby. Would it work better than Dropbox for this purpose?

I found that simply copying them across computers to the right directory will make the commands available to the new installation. 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. >> >> Best, >> >> Alfonso Sanchez-Penalver >> >>> On Dec 2, 2013, at 10:35 AM, Paolo Moncagatta <paoloemiliom@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hi everyone, >>> >>> A very simple question: is there any way to transfer the ados I have >>> installed on one computer to another one?
