[nfbcs] Networking Solutions?

[Nicole B. Torcolini Home]

Dropbox really is not necessary unless you need to have revision history
and/or share with others. As far as speed goes, it takes twice as long with
dropbox. I think that there might be a way to sync directly to other
computers running dropbox, but, usually, a file goes from the original
computer to the dropbox network then to other computers. So, you have both
the upload and download time. Finally, if you are worried about security,
Dropbox is not 100% secure. There have been security problems before.

Right.  I love Dropbox.  
Yeah...the network idea sounds more complex at this time.  
Hmmm.

Dropbox works fine for files; you'd really have to set up a network to share
programs.

Hi there,

 

I'm beginning to toy with a thought and wondered what kinds of solutions you
guys might have.

 

I have two computers, and I use both of them for different things; although,
one is older and has a different system than the other.  Nonetheless, they
both have certain programs and files they share or should share.

 

I wonder if there's a way to have both computers on some kind of small
network to where they can share information with one another, or to where I
can access information from either computer, no matter what.  Does that make
any sense, and is this a doable thing?  Of course, businesses have large
networks that can do this, but what about small homes?

 

What are some thoughts?

Jim
