Thx Chris
its funny you just posted this as of all the excellent responses in this
thread i was looking into git-annex as a solution. The issue is that im not
very technical (im an academic not a programmer) and its seems mighty
complicated. Also in addition git-assistant is currently isnt available for
windows (which im forced to use at work unfortunately..)
do you know of a good (simple) guide for git-annex? would you mind to
elaborate more on your complete setup?
also do you use it to sync with android?
thx alot and thank you all who sent responses, its greatly appreciated !
best
-itai
