Re: I finally found an easy solution to sync my zim notebook across computers

 

Hi,

that sounds interesting. Can you be more specific about usage of git-annex
or SparkleShare? I don't want to dive into the documentation and find ways
how to use it with Zim if you already know the best practices.

I'm actually using Git and Dropbox (which can be replaced by any other
similarly working service such as Ubuntu one or ownCloud). I have my local
repository somewhere on my computer and than the remote repository is just
file-based repository in Dropbox (or whatever) folder.

How does Git plus file-based-cloud-service compare to git-annex or
SparkleShare? We probably should share this on the wiki.

Thanks for sharing,
Vaclav
