Dropbox Pro, in particular just increased your standard cloud space to ONE TB!!!! ($99 a year)
Several years ago, I got tired of trying to sync the data on my various computers, or figure out which is the most up to date copy, and collaborate with my secretary and staff members. I started using Dropbox, and it solved a number of problems.
Then I reassinged my "My Data" on each of my computers to point to Dropbox, so I never have to copy stuff to a thumb drive to take it from home to work or wherever. This was particularly useful when I was going back to college (again) for a recertification. I just logged into my dropbox on the school's computer, and there was my data.
I set up a dropbox account for my Church, then shared the relevant folders on MY dropbox, so my secretary could see only the folders I wanted her to see. I update my expense report in Excel, for example, and she accesses it to log the reimbursement. Works GREAT.
And I work on my sermons at home, and I go to the Church Office, and there's the most current copy in my dropbox account.
At home, I have a 1TB external drive that I use as my data drive, and it's essentially a mirror of my dropbox folder. It's backed up realtime by Carbonite, along with an image of my boot drive.
This is FUN!!!!
