Nobody is going to read this since this post is over a day old, but:<p>Emacs searches not only ~&#x2F;.emacs but also ~&#x2F;.emacs.d&#x2F;init.el (and probably more) places for its init file.  So you don&#x27;t have to mess around with symlinks, you can just have a synced folder that is your ~&#x2F;.emacs.d and have init.el be at the top of that folder.
