Dont have backups (

But i was able to restore conflicted version of

ibdata1 (computername's conflicted copy 2016-07-07)

which was generated by Dropbox and works ok with that db. Then made backup of db and rolled back to the newest version, then restored it from dump.

So if you plant mysql on Dropbox you should carefully look after mysql to NOT work simultaneously on different computers. I made a batch to start Dropbox which fisrt kills MySQL process.

Wonder if there is a dropbox friendly db, which can work simultaneously with different computers. Conflicts are inevitable of course but they can be handled with forking for example...

C:\xampp\mysql\data\ibdata1
