So... how many of you have a back-up system, but... rarely use it? If your laptop died at this very instant, what would you lose to the ether, never to be retrieved? How often have you left a file at work/home and realized you needed the most updated version NOW?

Nothing sucks worse than getting to the office in the morning and
realizing you left the most recent copy of an important file—whether
it's your to-do list or a PowerPoint presentation—on your home
computer. No matter where you are and what computer you're using, you
always want the most updated set of documents and files you've got
without having to carry 'em around on a thumb drive. Luckily, several
free solutions can automatically sync folders between computers—even
over the internet, through office firewalls—no matter what operating
system you use. Whether you want work files edited at home to magically
appear on your PC at the office, or the family room Mac to have a copy
of the latest batch of digital photos downloaded onto the computer in
the den, three free applications can help.
