前一陣子三眼神童(從大一用到現在)的電腦終於壽終正寢,今天足球瑄說她的電腦(也從大一用到現在)也掛了。這年頭的電腦可以用上超過五年應該已算是少數。即便是主機還算健康,豬頭也不相信硬碟的壽命。「隨時備份」應該是一個大家都懂、卻不見得人人會做的事。
傅老師昨天來信推薦dropbox。真的很好用,同時備份到網路上,一兼二顧。各位同學一定要安裝。有裝有保佑!(各位google一下,網路上有詳細的中文教學。)
Dear Colleagues,
I thought you would all like to know about this wonderful service.
Many of us have a computer in our office as well as a laptop, and when
we travel we might use other computers as well. DropBox will allow you
to automatically keep your files synchronized across all computers. If
you update a document on one computer, it will be there on the other!
It works on all platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux. There are other
services which do similar things, but in my experience this one is the
easiest to use. You have a folder called "DrobBox" on every computer,
and everything in that folder will be synced. You can also make some
files public if you want to share them with your students. Best of
all, it is FREE! (Up to 2GB.)

I've been using it for a long time now and it has been working great.
There is a short video on the website you can watch if you need to
understand better how it works.
Cheers,
Kerim
