Tech Stories 16 – Syncing your devices
Marife Nuñez – https://www.marifenunez.com
Marife has a iMac and many other devices, and syncing all of them can be a bit of a struggle some times. When it comes to syncing I am a a bit mixed on the best solutions. Personally I like to use iCloud for all my contacts, calendar, reminders, notes etc. For Photos and Music I still sinc these things manually and for all my documents I choose to use Dropbox. I believe that if you share your documents with many people I find dropbox a bit more friendly and a bit more compatible with many devices and platforms.

We have compared iCloud to other services before, notably IDrive, where it didn’t come out too well; this time it isn’t much different as in the end we prefer Dropbox, even if just because it offers greater versatility.
