Do you have a laptop and a desktop and need to keep your documents synchronized between them? Luckily, there are a number of solutions to this problem.
The biggest downside to using multiple computers is that your files can be scattered across them, making it difficult to know where a particular file is at any given time. It doesn't need to be this way, though, because there are plenty of options for synchronizing files and information.

All the buzzwords apply, such as Web 2.0, Software as a Service, and “freemium,†which means they offer a free and premium version. They also just added file synchronization with live update, which
puts them toward the front of the pack among similar services. But you do have to step up to the premium version, which is understandable.
