Hi,

For keeping org files in sync between real computers, version control seems to me the obvious way to go. It gets you sync and history.

There is perhaps a bit of a learning curve, but time spent learning widely useful tools is time well spent :-)

bzr and hg are (superficially?) easier and git is pretty dominant.

For Android, mobile org push to android has worked for me (syncing over SD rather than the cloud or WebDAV). Pulling from Android hasn't been reliable enough for me to use it.

HTH,

Brian vdB
