Data synchronization
Dmitry, 2014-11-05 12:28:40

How do I keep all my work files in sync when working from multiple computers?

I have such a specific work that I have to work on several computers, namely: a working computer (at a permanent job), a home stationary computer, a laptop. The work is versatile: programming, layout, design, etc. In my last question, I already tried to bring up the topic of synchronizing my web server data. How can I synchronize the Denver server on several computers?I'm using denver, which is installed on my portable HDD, which I connect to the computer on which they are currently working. I put my question “how to synchronize Denver”. Smart people advised to use VPS, Git, etc., and not to carry a screw with you from computer to computer. Good advice, but in the end I realized that my question was a little incorrect, or rather incomplete. This is not only about the web server, but also about many other working files. Those. By the nature of my work, I have to deal with a lot of data (layouts, terms of reference, documents, etc.). I program, make up, draw, etc. All these working files are currently stored on the same screw with which I run back and forth (naturally, periodically backing up all this stuff). So, if the web server issue can be solved by using a remote server, then what about the rest of the data I'm working with? Use cloud storage? For example, the same dropbox? But here I see the following problem: you worked, for example, with some kind of PSD-shka (drawing the design of the site), finished, turned off the computer and went home. And the file did not have time to upload to the cloud and, accordingly, I turn on the computer code at home, then I will no longer have this file. Those. you always need to control the moment that the data is synchronized so that all the files that you have made changes to are uploaded to the cloud, so that later they appear in the right folder on the machine on which you will continue to work with this file. turned off the computer and went home. And the file did not have time to upload to the cloud and, accordingly, I turn on the computer code at home, then I will no longer have this file.

So I would like to ask the people who solves the problem of data synchronization when working from several machines.

I solve this problem with Dropbox. The work computer is on all the time.
In any case, if you synchronize something, it will take time to synchronize with the expectation of completion.
The same Git also does not push commits in a split second.
