country Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I am in the process of organizing my user library. I am putting in folders, subfolders and files similar to CA's. Is there a preferred method to maintain them on both my desktop and laptop? If I travel the laptop is my workstation so I need it to be current.

Joe_Carrick Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I use SugarSync - but you can also use LogMeIn, Carbonite, etc to keep your systems synchronized. Dropbox is another way to handle it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 One option would be to use Google Drive or Drop Box to upload your user libraries. To keep them current on Drive you will need to upload with each change but then they can be downloaded to any computer at any time in any place. Just saw your post Joe. Haven't used Sugar Sync but have Carbonite and haven't used their sync features/functions. I have a couple folders I back up to Drive a couple times a week seems like it would work OK but it takes a pretty clear discipline to keep things organized.

country Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Does everyone put all their libraries together in that location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 User Library is just one big file. There's only one file to synchronize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Mine is just starting out but I plan on using it almost exclusively so I imagine it will get big fast. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn8hansen Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I put my whole "Chief Architect Data" folder in Dropbox. If I install Chief on a 2nd computer, I go to the folder preferences in Chief on the new computer and point it towards the folder in Dropbox. The "Chief Architect Data" folder should have the User Library, Hotkeys, Toolbars, and other Defaults stored in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Everything is currently installed on each computer. How would I go about getting them to both use the same data set. It sounds like the perfect solution for most people that use a work station and laptop at different locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
