How to Transfer League Files on Mac

I want to transfer my Marlins franchise from one account to another on the same Mac. Both accounts already have OOTP, I just want to know how to transfer the specific game.

Copy the league file from the saved games folder to an external USB drive, log into the other account, and copy it to the saved games folder under OOTP in the other account.

Another way is to stick the saved game into your "public" folder, which is accessible by anyone.

Would i be able to email the league files to myself?

Sure. You could zip and send it, but it's large, and if you are on the same computer it's an added step that's not really necessary.

Well then i could also put it on other computers without having to use a USB drive

That's true. Thought we were talking about a different user account on the same Mac.

Another option is to get a Dropbox account, which is free. You can drag and drop the game save into a public folder on Dropbox and access it from any computer. If the computers are logged in to Dropbox using the same Dropbox account those computers will always have the same files kept in sync.

That's how I used to do it back in the ootp11-ish days but the thousands of html files took forever to sync.
