Since I've just started writing, I'll be sticking with Word for now (have it on Mac laptop, Mac desktop and iPad) and I think I'll start with a basic "folder" system within Word for notes, research, practice, ideas, etc. I've read many threads on saving to computer, flash drive, cloud, email, etc also. What I REALLY want to know is this: how are you sure the versions you have in each location (laptop, flash drive) are the most recent? What about when you change devices-or DO you change devices?
I'm thinking Dropbox is my best bet right now. I'm going to be using laptop at home, but probably iPad when traveling (vacay next week-yay!) and may not have internet all the time I'm writing. So save "on computer/iPad" until have wifi, then upload to dropbox. That way dropbox always has the latest version and anytime I pull it out of the cloud to work on it, I know it's the right one. Then maybe 1x/wk or routinely I could also do offline somewhere.
I also assume y'all keep a notepad handy in case inspiration strikes and your computer is nowhere nearby, then transfer notes to computer when possible? (Have I droned on long enough?) Thanks for everyone's help in advance!
How/where do you save,use multiple devices, keep track...
