Recently I bought a Netbook from Acer. Because its so small and light it’s easy to take it with me to college and while traveling by train. The only drawback was that when I edited or created files I had to transfer them manually to my other laptop with an USB stick. It would be a lot easier if these files got synchronized automatically between these computers.

After a search on the Internet, I discovered Windows Live Sync, another service from Microsoft. It basically synchronizes all files in one or more folders between any number of PC’s which have the software is installed. You need to install the free software on the PC’s you want to synchronize, and to login with your Windows Live ID (if you are using hotmail or msn, you already have one) to select the concerning folders. Setting the whole thing up doesn’t take longer than 5 minutes and is very easy to do. Everytime one of your computer connects to the Internet it will upload the new and edited files, and when your other computer connects, it will update the folder with the files.
