Swapping information between computers and keeping it all synced correctly is not easy – especially now that I have a iMac at home and a PC / Laptop at work. Surprisingly the two best solutions that I have found are both free (unless you want to pay for extra space etc).
The first program is DropBox. Dropbox is a storage application that enables users to store and sync files online
and between computers. Dropbox has a cross-platform client (Windows, Mac and Linux)
that enables you to drop any file into a Dropbox folder that is then
synced to the web and the users’ other computers with the Dropbox
client. Files in the shared Dropbox folder can be shared with other Dropbox users
or accessed from the web. You may also upload files manually through
a web browser. A free Dropbox account offers 2 GB of storage but you can upgrade to 50 GB by paying a monthly or yearly fee.
The second program is Evernote. Evernote is a program that allows you to capture
information of various types, including text notes, mobile phone
snapshots, printed and handwritten text within images, web clips, and
digital ink. All data added to Evernote are run through a series of
recognizers that make any text within the various note formats
searchable. The application uses a continuous “roll of paper” metaphor
for its user interface. Additionally, you may create folders,
categories and notebooks.
Both of these programs are totally free so try them out!
