This included Dropbox, of course … with an unexpected result. 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM and the size of a sheet of paper should be good to work on stuff while on the road.Īs with any new piece of hardware, I began to install my setup, essential tools that I use very often. Since the first appearance of Microsoft’s Surface several years ago, I thought this type of hardware, which includes the same OS I’m using all the time - Windows - could be close my device gap and a couple of days ago, I put a bunch of Euros in the hand of a local dealer to finally close it with a Surface Pro X. Whenever I want to continue writing an article on the road, I download the corresponding MD file and then upload it again afterwards. I have one with Android and manage my synchronization with a tool called DropSync, but due to limited disc space I can’t sync bigger projects with thousands of files, like this blog. I have similar hardware as described above, but with a gap: a Windows tablet. To me it is obvious that software manufacturers cannot support every operating system, but I can expect that if they support a particular OS, they will do so on any hardware that the OS manufacturer also supports! What has happened… All of these used devices to write the text may have a different hard- and software configuration, but today we have synchronisation services like Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive and man others, which ensures that the same version of the text is available at all times at all devices. You start writing a text on your laptop at home in the garden, have to interrupt it because of an appointment and continue writing on your tablet on your way, only to finish it at home on your PC, because it has started to rain.
Nowadays it is normal to work with different classes of devices: stationary PCs, different types of laptops, tablets and also smartphones. No problems … until now! Be aware … this will be a rant :/ I’m a customer of Dropbox many, many years, a paying customer, and was always happy about the service, as it is fast and easy to use.
