Question Webstorage and File Syncing across machines

I'm looking for suggestions regarding online cloud storage programs. I've been using Asus Webstorage , which is honestly a pretty good program when it behaves right, which it does on my laptop, but not my tablet. All I really need is a program that will let me work on any documents in a shared folder while off line, and when I connect to the net will automatically upload to the cloud then sync the files to the other device.

I am looking at Google Drive and a few of the other free ones, but if you happen to use any of them could I get some reviews to help me decide?

Google Drive - 15 GB, doesn't sync?

Dropbox - 2 GB, syncs.

Dropbox seems like best fit?

Gen 2 is currently looking at something called Zoho, because google docs doesn't seem to work for all of us. Maybe that will work for you? I'm not sure.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look.

There are ways of getting extra space on Dropbox, although it will never be huge without paying. I currently have 4.88 GB. Most of that comes from inviting other people to join Dropbox and having them join, which nets you 500 MB. Of course, Dropbox doesn't care if they stay on Dropbox, so if you have a spare machine it's pretty easy to make a spare email, invite them to join, install Dropbox, then uninstall Dropbox and repeat with a new email. There are even services you can pay to do it for you, and get up to around 15 or 16 GB much more cheaply then the full Dropbox subscription. No idea how reputable those services are, though.

Interesting.... I think I may have worked out what the heck is wrong with my Asus storage; I think the last time I updated it I some how created a new folder for it, so now it is confused as to where to access.

A delayed response, but something worth putting forward regardless. In certain situations, you need something more structured than a shared folder (such as dropbox and friends).

Warren's cautionary tale was a 'classic' situation in the software development field, demonstrating the need for a version control system (and what happens if a developer on a team doesn't use it). The basic idea behind a version control system is that you have a repository containing the entire history of a set of files (such as a website). When changes are to be made, you copy the state of the repository to another directory structure called a client. You then make changes to the copy in the client. When you are finished, you perform a formal operation called a commit, where you save the changes from the client back to the repository. One element of this commit is a description of what the change was/was intended to be, so that the other people working on the project can get a feel for what you were doing without having to parse through the changes manually.

One 'modern' version control system is a program called 'GIT'. One distinctive feature of Git is that every client is also a repository (this is called a DVCS, or Distributed Version Control System). If you are looking for a cloud-base provider for a git repository, you can consider either github.com/ or about.gitlab.com/ .

I use Git for all my story projects. This is convenient since I do all my writing in plain-text (with Markdown formatting), which means I can use things like "git diff -U1 --color-words" to see what I've changed while editing. I'm sure there are word processors that let you do similar things, but I hate word processors. I prefer using good old Vim and writing in plain-text, then just making a conversion script to turn it into whatever sort of output I need.
