PC - laptop sync with sdl 2015 Best Practices?

Carola Striebel

Dear All,

I am looking for the best way to sync PC and Laptop for sdl 2015.

I have the software installed on my c harddrive and the translated and to-be-translated files on D, and I also  have a back-up of my TMs and termbases (that are on c) on d (which also has a c and d drive).

What would be the easiest, most efficient and logical way to sync this with my Laptop?

 

Thanks for your input, Carola

    I like the suggestion from Jerzy... but perhaps another way to do this and have a backup at the same time is to use dropbox or onedrive? I think quite a lot of people use this daily and then it doesn't matter which computer they move onto, everything is always upto date, and you have the benefit of being able to get at your files from any computer at all as long as you have access to the internet.

    Hi Paul

    All works - OneDrive, Dropbox or whatever you want. The only condition is to keep all paths identical. If these are same in any PC you use, you can move projects, files and TMs/TBs between the computer as you wish.
    We do that since Studio exists.
    Best regards, Jerzy

    Hi Paul, hi Jerzy,

    Thanks a lot for your thoughts. I will try to localize where I have so far put my TMs and TBs - sometimes I am just too creative in setting up new ways of storing my data - and then unfortunately forget about them ...

    I will then impose a structure as suggested by Jerzy for TMs and TBs except that I do not need customer-specific  folders, but maybe this is food for thought at a later point in time (I organise my other project files with TO 3000 so no worries there) and sync it with SyncToys (the syncing tool I am familiar with) and of course let you know how it all went.

    I am very reluctant to use cloud-based solutions (and for some customers simply can't  because of security reasons - and yes, I do use email encryption for them too), but will consider using an own NAS.

    Best, Carola
