Keeping Desktop and Laptop Data in Sync when Traveling

Stephen W Thomas September 14, 2015 www.loyaltyhacks.com

I have been traveling for work between 25 and 50 weeks a year for almost 15 years now.  On every trip, I carry my trusty laptop.  I am on laptop number 8 now as I get them replaced frequently.  In the weeks that I am not working onsite at a client, I work at home.  While I have a powerful laptop, when working at home I enjoy working on my supercharged, duel monitor desktop.

This can cause data synchronization issues between my laptop and desktop.   Luckily technology has improved greatly over the years to provide several options to solve this problem.  Lets take a deeper look into the two ways I overcome laptop and desktop synchronization issues.

Option 1: Cloud-based Synchronization

Cloud-based shared storage is the “it” thing these days.  Services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and Microsoft OneDrive (just to name a few) are springing up all over the place.  They offer much more than just cloud storage, but really a whole cloud-based content management system with the ability for team collaboration with user’s permissions, direct download links, sharing large files that could not be sent via email, and more.

I use Dropbox for syncing smaller, more frequently used files like to-do lists.  I also use Dropbox for sharing files with Pluralsight, the training company I contract with to produce online training courses like “Traveling and Loyalty Programs Best Practices“.  With Dropbox, sharing large files with my editor is as easy as drag and drop into my Dropbox windows folder.

Pros:

Automatic real-time synchronization when systems are online

Simple and easy to use

Ability to easily share large files with others

User and permission management tools

Cons:

Data is stored in the cloud

Speed dependent on the internet connection
