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 l= earning widely useful tools is time well spent :-)

bzr and hg are (superficially?) easier and git is pretty dom= inant.

For Android, mobile org push to android has worked for me (s= yncing over SD rather than the cloud or WebDAV). Pulling from Android hasn&= #39;t been reliable enough for me to use it.

HTH,

Brian vdB

Hi,


To me, a rather = reliable way (without version control) has been unison. =A0Easy to set up a= nd learn, fast. =A0Only problem is that it doesn't deal well (actually,= at all) with merges (i.e. a file that has been modified in both computers)= .

But I agree with Brian that in the long run, though har= der to learn, git is a charm.
