Dropbox
I accept that I’m a bit late to the party here
but that’s only because I didn’t read the bumf
properly and failed to understand that not only is
Dropbox a free online backup service (up to 2GB) but
you can also use it to synchronise specific folders
between multiple computers. That means I don’t have
to faff about e-mailing things back and forth or
carrying them around on a USB stick. I just set up a
Dropbox account, downloaded the software onto the PC
and the MacBook, linked both to my Dropbox account
and as they used to say ‘Bob’s your auntie’s live-in
lover.’ I create a new folder every month and stick
everything in there. At the end of the month I move
everything out to its proper place, re-name the
folder as the next month and start again. It’s fab.
