I used to use DropBox, but I discovered that I kept corrupting my character file while it was trying to upload changes. Or DropBox would file lock it for a bit and make it so I can't save my charactersheet. Now I save to local folder and then COPY my saved charactersheet to dropbox.

This should be the recommended process for working with all data in synced locations. People with Fantasy Grounds were losing whole campaigns because of this till it was narrowed down, then somebody wrote a script to copy the campaign into the folder structure upon exit of FG.

I'd like it if it were set up so that the license holder was the GM account, and that players could attach themselves to my account for an additional monthly fee to have access to my content. This way I don't have to hold their hand to make their sheets. Not everyone has over $300 to sink into a character creator, after all.

Likewise, I attempt to follow this pattern but due to running 2 games with more players than I have licenses it becomes very tricky.

Same here; I run multiple games so this sadly isn't feasible to me.

Just FYI: Sharing licenses is actually prohibited by our license agreement.
