Could indeed be easiest solution ;)
You could also look at how you serialize or save data for export / import between two environments.
Just have it custom save out to a standard plist format or a simple xml schema.
Then you can decouple that from the CoreData versioning and differences.
Internally, for speed or what have you it could easily import to the CoreData model.
However, a simple web app might be just as feasible.
Depends on what interests you at this point.

I have absolutely no idea how to do this though. I know some apps have built in dropbox sync but I fear it may be beyond me as I haven't found a handy tutorial anywhere.
