Re: [FRIAM] cloud backup recomendations wanted

[Gillian Densmore]

My workflow after getting a project-
Like update pictures for my blog is to resize the image and adjust colors
in photoshop then save it in a web friendly format and size- at the moment
i'll have  picasso running as a crude way to back up the original picture-

For text editing I'd be inclined to use openoffice-

for a just a plain HTML document notepad has served me well-

I don't know a good consistant way to share stuff with other students, and
are looking for a good best practice for how to share documents for when I
get into the scary thing called the reel world with coleagues and friends

Plus I stared long and hard at my computer and it acured to me that I don't
have good consistant way to keep a back up of files-google drive isn't a
bad start.

While investigating cloud back up I ran across a outfit called cloudswave (
cloudswave <http://www.cloudswave.com>)-who pointed me to there service
called box+ I've only done a bit of poking and proding it looks like the
use quite a bit of the google ecology where it gets interesting though is
they offer either a terabyte of storage for just under 20 a month. Compared
to googles 45 for the same amount of space I have no idea how they can
afford that.
They also claim they have some sort of app that can work with a desktop app
for colaberation-
One pro for google is brand name recognition I was in a meeting today and
the lady I asked the lady I was talking to if she'd accept a link pointing
to  google drive she delitedly said oh sure. I'm not sure i'd get the same
instant: aha that's a known work safe place reaction from google
competitors.

So does anyone know of a service whereby I can delete the file from my HD's

I've not tested it but Dropbox has these instructions on how to recover

DropBox syncs files between as many computers as you like, using the 
cloud. DropBox folders can be shared with as many people as you 
invite. It does not provide its own editing capabilities.


If you want to share an Illustrator file with someone, drag it into 
the shared DropBox subfolder. It will automatically appear in the 
corresponding subfolder on the other person's computer. She can then 
edit it with Illustrator.


Another option is Evernote. The free version is restricted in the 
files it will allow as attachments to notes, but I understand that the 
paid version allows any file as an attachment to a note. The sharing 
is similar to that of DropBox; it is by invitation.

Re: [FRIAM] cloud backup recomendations wanted

[Dean Gerber]

We have used Dropbox somewhat successfully at SFAFS to coordinate assignments 
and other data in our Science Fair Judging project.  It is vital to understand 
that shared folders can be fully edited (including deleting!) by one and all in 
the sharing group, so that without good discipline and understanding things can 
run amok.  For example, if one group member deletes a file from a shared 
folder, that file is deleted from every folder in the group.  It is gone.  This 
works independently of OS file permissions.  Dropbox is not really suitable for 
collaborative development because of this.

Google Drive lets you share and allows you to choose if you want to allow the 
sharee to edit the file.

DropBox syncs files between as many computers as you like, using the cloud. 
DropBox folders can be shared with as many people as you invite. It does not 
provide its own editing capabilities.

If you want to share an Illustrator file with someone, drag it into the shared 
DropBox subfolder. It will automatically appear in the corresponding subfolder 
on the other person's computer. She can then edit it with Illustrator.

Another option is Evernote. The free version is restricted in the files it will 
allow as attachments to notes, but I understand that the paid version allows 
any file as an attachment to a note. The sharing is similar to that of DropBox; 
it is by invitation.
