Synchronizing notes between computers

I use Logos between two computers.  One of these computers stays at home and the other goes with me pretty much wherever I go.  Because of this, I tend to do study in a number of places including:

  • At home
  • In bed (when I can't sleep)
  • In cafe's
  • At church
  • At friends and relatives houses
  • Other random locations

Because of the somewhat random nature of my location when I'm studying I have a need to ensure that my notes are with me and are consistently saved and shared between the computers.

I do this using a little product called Foldershare.

Foldershare allows you to synchronize files and folders between multiple computers - both yours and friends or family.

The way it works is you essentially:

  1. Sign up for a free account at http://foldershare.com
  2. Download and install the software on your computers
  3. Create a library (you can have a maximum of 10) and point it to your notes folder (In my case this is My Documents\Libronix DLS)
  4. Download and install the software on your second computer
  5. Add each computer to the library you just created by clicking the foldershare icon and selecting the library you just created.
  6. Foldershare will now synchronize the folders automatically when your computers are online.

So, now I can make changes on my mobile computer, and as long as wifi is turned on (or I'm otherwise connected to the internet) the files are automatically saved by Logos and synchronized to the other computer Libronix DLS folder.  This includes toolbars, notes, verse lists, prayer lists, etc.  The only thing it wont sync in this configuration is bookmarks.

This product would work equally well on other solutions too. I also use it to synchronize One Note notebooks and general files and folders.
