I use Unison, and it works well. I also use Dropbox and Copy.
To use Unison, you'd need somewhere to synchronise your files to, like a NAS or an external hard drive. Whether or not you should depends on what the advantages/disadvantages are for you. Did your friend say why you should use Unison instead of Dropbox and/or Copy? |
Thanks Russ. You know, I'd probably use Unison too if I had your level of computer knowledge. As it is (and for what I need) I think it's overkill. I mean, I've got Dropbox, Copy, Google Drive (LOL), two computers with the data on it and it's backed up to a flashdrive. And all just for my stories! (I obviously border on the neurotically grandiose.)
