Dropbox

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.
