I have being using the free Dropbox service for quite some time, although, nevertheless not perhaps to its full capacity. Three days ago I typed in to Google, 'how to centralise all my files online'. I had it in my mind that if I had the majority of my working files on the cloud, therefore there is no need to worry about which computer I am using. How can I use Google Docs to be that Cloud service! I was looking for a solution that can allow me to use my Google Docs account like a drive, similar to Dropbox, on all my different computers. They coined the term many years ago Gdrive. So, with this is mind, I found my solution.
As, of an hour ago, installed on 2 computers, Syncdocs, allows this very option. After it installs, and you login, Syncdocs, creates a mirror of your Google Docs accounts Folders and Files, by default, in your My Documents folder, as seen here. The synchronisations happens in the background while you can work away. The next step is for me to centralise as much of my files as possible in my Google Docs folders. Deleting old ones from the online service, and moving as much of my working files offline online. I will keep larger files on my web hosting account.
So, my brave move to relocate and embrace the cloud with all my might in 2012. I will keep you informed of how Syncdocs works out over the coming weeks. If, you have a cloud service that you feel I can benefit from, please leave a comment below.
