I wrote this following questions from some friends at Plurk about why I do not use googledoc instead.Since I worked on my thesis last March, I has at least 2 workstations. My notebook at home, my notebook in the office ( I do in-company thesis), and computers in my faculty.
I've tried to only use my office notebook, but after some times, carrying the notebook back and forth on twice a day 1,5 hour indirect train travel became too annoying.
I have a special folder for my thesis work, including subfolders that organize my literature collection based on how I get them and whether I have printed them or not. It's common for me to add new articles or move some articles to printed-folders.
For that reason, I back up my files by simply copying my thesis folder to my flashdisk and copying it again to my home notebook. However at some point, my pathetically-small-capacity flashdisk (256Mb) can't handle my files anymore :p
I tried to send files to my own email address. But this really is not the best solution, because I can't have my perfectly organized thesis folder on hand.
That's how I started using Dropbox from Getdropbox.com. It gives me 2Gb online space.
I installed it on my home notebook. Then I moved my thesis folders to the Dropbox folder. When I installed the same application on my work notebook and link it to my own account, it automatically made an exact copy of my Dropbox folder at home.
Everytime I made changes to my thesis at work, i.e.: document update, document relocation, etc, the application automatically synchronize the change online and when I get home, the same synchronization is also performed in my home notebook.
That's how Dropbox helps with my thesis work :D
Btw, I need more Dropbox space. If you register through my referral link, you and I (it's fair right? hehe) will get additional 250Mb space, haha.. So, if you wanna give it a try, register through this link :D
There are similar concepts that might be as useful, such as online desktop (I forget the application name).

Now, I've seen many of these before onthe internet, but what is the source, if you can tell me the book they are from, or a site that hosts scans, I would appreciate it.
How can I make a drop box like this for my website for my colleges to submit tests for different positions on are council? I only have a small/basic knowledge of html, css, xhtml, and javascript.
I finished the research part of my masters thesis, and I am planning to start writing it up in a word document. I want tips on how to write it professionally using MS word 2007.
Could I just put a few stamps on it and put the letter in the box just like a domestic letter? Or are those boxes only for domestic stuff? In the past I've always just took the letters inside.
