If you don't see tooltips there you will need to install the MS-Corefonts. This is usually done by installing the package winetricks.

HowTo / Notes

How-to synchronize with Dropbox

The preferred way:

I have Dropbox for Linux installed. Instead of futzing with getting it to think I had Dropbox installed in "windows", I just told YNAB to store its Local Budgets in C:\users\MYUSER\My Documents\Dropbox\YNAB. My Documents is conveniently a sym-link to /home/MYUSER and my Dropbox folder is /home/MYUSER/Dropbox. Works like a charm. Tested with the iOS mobile app.
Black Screen instead of YNAB

Sometime it happens that YNAB comes up only with a black screen. It seems that your graphics card doesn't support fully OpenGL - you will need to disable it like this:

env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 WINEPREFIX="/home/USERNAME/.wine_YNAB4" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\YNAB\ 4\\YNAB\ 4.exe

Issues with newer wine
by Dan Schmidt on Monday January 23rd 2017, 23:00
I had to revert to plain vanilla 1.6 Ubuntu 16.04 wine. I tried 1.8.6 and newer versions - they gave me a certificate error right before crashing YNAB. I know I should file a bug, but don't have time right now.
Dropbox sync...
by David Breakey on Tuesday July 22nd 2014, 13:13
This comment is meant for people who might not necessarily be "Linux-literate" That said, I'm still assuming some basic Linux proficiency (otherwise you probably don't have YNAB set up under Wine anyway).

I'm also assuming you already have Dropbox and YNAB set up; just not linked together.

Anyone who wants to sync this across devices should use Dropbox synchronization, obviously.

Rather than using the "built-in" method, I'd recommend using the native Linux Dropbox client instead and just instructing YNAB to use a folder within your Dropbox folder structure, via the Z:\ drive, as mentioned by another tester. EG: Z:\home\user\Documents\Dropbox\YNAB, which would map to /home/user/Documents/Dropbox/YNAB under Linux. Or wherever you prefer.

*DO NOT* enable Dropbox within YNAB...while that *works* the wizard will pull in a *bunch* of dependencies you just *don't* need (sure, it'll *work*, but do you really *want* to run *two* copies of the Dropbox client for this? I don't, and it isn't necessary anyway...so let's take advantage of the fact you probably are using the Linux client already).

Do this first, then make sure Dropbox is properly set up on your Android or iOS device (yes, you can do it out of order, but this is easier).

THEN install YNAB on your device and just have it search for the proper files via it's Dropbox integration, and you're all set.

Hopefully that'll be useful to anyone doing a Google search :-)
