I used to use dropbox, but then I just went all-in, got some server space from linode, and now I just SSH into a running emacs daemon. The really cool thing is that I can also SSH in with my Droid 3 phone (physical keyboard droids are the only ones I've found with the requisite ctrl and meta keys).
Now, I never have to worry about versioning or maintaining multiple .emacs, and org-mode is available wherever there is cell service (grocery store, bus, etc.). -----Original Message----- From: Ian Barton To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Date: Thu 09 Jan 2014 03:48:34 AM EST On 09/01/14 08:36, David Belohrad wrote: > I was using before Dropbox for all sort of syncing, especially my org > mode files, which change quite often.

I think this is because some of my computers are only intermittently connected to Dropbox.

I keep a separate branch for each computer and do a git pull and git merge when I move to a different computer. This does have some disadvantages - you need to remember to commit and push your changes on each computer. However, sorting out mistakes is generally much easier. > Regarding your .emacs you can use elisp to distinguish various bits of your configuration on an OS and computer name basis.
