Sync’in rules the world

When you have more than one computer, you work on, you get the problem of how to keep your files in sync. I think most of us have tried to work on a document only to realize at some later stage that it was the wrong version of the document in the first place. Oh, the agony of lost time.

Luckily there are great solutions to the problem. I recently tried out Microsofts new FolderShare service, and although I got it working between my Macs, I must admit it was kind of a steep learning code. It did a nice job but just wasn’t intuitive to use.

Enter DropBox. DropBox is the simplest, coolest sync’ing tool, I have ever seen. You map your computer towards your account, and the sync’ing starts. It syncs on the fly, so the minute you have updated your document on one computer, it’s syncronized on the next. It’s just seamless - and it works.

DropBox is in a closed beta for now, but you can request access here. Microsofts FolderShare is also in beta albeit an open one, so here you can sign up in a few seconds.

Happy sync’ing!
