Consistent workspaces across multiple devices: Lifehacker

FoldershareThis week, Adam Pash’s "Hack Attack" column at Lifehacker is spot-on for owners of multiple computers. In one article, Adam aggregates many of the strategies we’ve covered here. The list includes approaches and tools to sync browser bookmarks and calendars, maintain e-mail consistency and keep up-to-date important files and folders accessible on all of your devices.

There are definitely other approaches than what Adam listed here, but this is a good starter if you just began to use multiple devices. Although it incurs a cost, I still prefer a hosted mail server over the web-based methods that Adam outlines. That’s only due to the simple and very stable over-the-air synching it provides with multiple phones. What do you think is missing from Adam’s list?

    I got an idea from his article for a free mail sync solution. I’m going to try using portable thunderbird and just sync that folder using foldershare.

    I only have 2 PCs: an Asus Z71V based laptop I put together and a Samsung Q1 so it seems doable.
