Using two computers to work on the same project?

Question

Hi Guys,

What would be my best approach for this? I want to keep my projects in a file on the server at work so they will be backed up every day. I also want to be able to work on my projects at home using my lap top. Is there an easy way to do this? Have one copie on he server and then when I get to work in the morning sync what I have on the lap top to the file at work?

Thanks

*Jay*

Have you tried a cloud storage service such as DropBox, Google Drive or Microsoft Sky Drive? Many of those services are free. I use DropBox. It starts at 2GB for a free account, which is more than enough to store many projects.

This thread apparently has a file syncing program but I wouldn't know how to may it work with your server at work from your laptop. But from what the OP of the thread says it apparently works with the exception of the problem refreshing textboxes which is answered in the thread.

You've taught me everything I know but not everything you know.
