I have multiple computers at home and at work with different operating systems (mostly Windows and Linux based systems) it becomes very challenging to keep up with file versions, copying and moving files especially when the pc’s are on disparate networks. I wanted a solution that seamlessly synchronizes my files so that it is available to me whatever machine I decide to hop on. Thanks to Dropbox – I use it as my virtual “file-system”. It is also my virtual “file-system” backup. Because it synchronizes all the files I have on all of my computers, I don’t have to worry about losing any data… if the cloud service goes down, I have local copies of the files, if one pc goes down… I have other copies somewhere. All that peace of mind in one single solution (you can’t do all of that even with a box of USB sticks).
I am not affiliated with Dropbox or I am getting paid to do any of this (although if anyone from Dropbox see’s this post and would like to give me a discount, please ping me…).
If anyone else knows a good utility or services, please post a comment (I need some traction on this website…)…. no seriously.
