So what Dropbox does is sync any files within your Dropbox folder with all of your computers and devices. This is plenty of room for syncing the Livescribe data at least for now. Also, if you haven’t signed up for Dropbox yet and would like to, if you sign up using my link, we will both get and additional 250 MB free. It uses Amazon’s popular S3 service for data and allows each free user 2GB of space.

This led me to dropbox.įor those of you who don’t know, Dropbox is a file synchronization software that has a huge back-end within the cloud. Thing is, I had used it several times before and one major gripe with it is that the data isn’t in the cloud so I have to have all of my computers on all the time to make sure they get the updates. I started looking at various other services that allow synchronizing and was tempted to try out Windows Live Sync Beta.

The only problem being that I’m often switching between multiple computers very quickly and it takes time for Offline Files to synchronize because it doesn’t sync on the fly. At first I thought I would create a network share (on my Desktop) and then use Offline Files to synchronize the Livescribe folder with the network share. It’s not as long but since I use both Windows XP and Windows 7 between computers, it’s another path to remember. For Windows Vista or Windows 7, the folder is located at “C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Livescribe\Desktop”. Once when I arrive at the computer and once when I leave adding a 5 minute job twice every time I want to move computers.įor reference the Livescribe Folder is located at “C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Livescribe\Desktop” (on Windows XP). Also, another flaw with this method is that it requires me to remember to copy over the data folder twice. However, that takes a significant amount of time because my Livescribe data is 1GB (approximately) and it’s only going to get larger as time goes by. There is always the way of manually copying the Livescribe folder from one computer to another via USB flash drive. Then just to complicate things more, I also have a 10″ netbook which goes with me everywhere and because it’s with me most of the time, I need to be able to access my Livescribe data on it as well. For that reason, it also needs my Livescribe data as well. Next I have a 15″ Compaq Presario Laptop that is slowly aging (but still going strong)! I travel with that laptop sometimes and use it around the house when I am not at my desk.

I also have the Livescribe Pro Charging Cradle which sits on my desk and is connected to my Desktop, allowing me to dock my pen any time to complete a download without having the pull out the mobile cradle. First I have a Desktop, with a nice, large, high definition 20″ monitor! For practical reasons it doesn’t make much sense to carry this around with me all of them time. Let me begin by saying that I have a fairly complicated computer setup.
