[QUOTE="DigitalRadHead, post: 1806328, member: 401136"] Hi, I've just partially switched from Windows to Mac - I have a work Windows Laptop and I've just bought a new MacBook that I want to use more flexibly when I travel, go to meetings, etc. Up to now, on my work laptop, I have been using Dropbox to keep my files up to date, along with using SyncToy to regularly back files up to an external hard-drive. I'm self-employed, and I'd like to have some work files backed up so that I can work from my MacBook where I am and keep my old laptop at home. I'm not necessarily looking to share all files (just a few folders, but so far, it's several GBs). I'd also like to ensure I have a good strategy for keeping my files backed up. Possible ideas I'm thinking off is to migrate over to iCloud, and install iCloud for Windows. Alternatively, I could install dropbox on my MacBook. I still need to find a way to keep files backed up to an external drive at the same time, so to find the Mac equivalent to SyncToy. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
