Hi WAMUGersTrying to get my head around Dropbox.
I use it to share files with people or to send the school magazine to
the printer etc.BUT i am thinking maybe i can use it to sync stuff
between my macs.Particularly my School Macbook Pro running Snow
Leopard and my personal MacBook Air running Lion.There are a couple of
files i might like to use on both these computers eg Word and Excel
files (like bank balances, password reminders, timelogs in excel,
maybe articles i am writing etc)These days i try to remember to swap
them back form the laptop with the newer version to the computer with
the older version etc.
So - does it seem I can use Dropbox to do this?BUT - does that mean
they can no longer reside where they currently do eg MacHD, Users,
Blitto, Documents, Rod Personal folder???Do i have to shift them
to MacHD, Users, Blitto, Dropbox if i want them to sync
between laptops?????So IF that is true I suppose I could create
aliases for these documents back in the original places they used to
live and point the alises at the Dropbox folder????
Please - Am I on the right track here???
Another question: if i load the dropbox ap on my iphone - will ALL the
stuff somehow sync to the phone as well??? But there isnt enough
room.Or does the phone ap just look for the stuff on the website???
Finally - is the Dropbox site secure enough to be putting my personal
files on?
Yes - have looked over the dropbox tutorials and help a bit this
morning
Many thanks
blitto
