There's no question that the MacBook Air is a great tool for business travel. But we've often heard the objection that it's not practical because people don't want to risk taking a computer on the road and not having access to all their files.
Fortunately, Apple's iCloud is making it easier to have a travel computer fully loaded with all your photos and music, but what about you work files? iCloud is not where you (or your IT folks) want business documents. It's not made for that and it doesn't have the security and Admin capabilities businesses need.
What about other consumer tools and web portals? They're not a great solution either. They also lack proper business-level security and controls. And, they require you to "think ahead" and save your files somewhere so you can access them later. That's exactly the "extra work" that prevents us from buying that travel computer!
Enter Syncplicity.
With Syncplicity you can sync all the folders you work in on your work computer and have them syned to exactly the same folder structure on your travel computer! Your entire universe of work files will be with you without having to think ahead, drag-and-drop them, or check them in to a web content management system. And, if it's mobile file access you are looking for, they will also be available to you on your iPhone, iPad or Android devices... automatically and seamlessly.
Here's a short video that shows you how to set up Syncplicity to sync your entire Documents folder. And, don't worry, if you want to not sync some folders, it's easy to exclude them.
So, go ahead and buy that MacBook Air (or whatever notebook you prefer)! And, rest assured that if you have to run out of the office, all your work will be ready for you, exactly where you left it.
