How to get my documents online?

[QuickHomeBuyers]

I have reformatted both my laptops. I now want to store my documents in one and want it to be accessed by the second one when I am not here. (The main laptop A will be connected to internet when I am not here).

How do I set it up? I can either use Office 2007 or 2010.

Any help on this? Think this is fairly easy to set up.

I would get a dropbox account and use that for accessing those files from outside the office, dropbox www.dropbox.com keeps a secure synchronized version of the files on their servers (2GB free).

Either that or try google docs or similar, you'll be able to access and edit documents on computers without word on them too

Id go for dropbox as well. We use this in our company ans it works a treat as a way to share docs etc.

I get the feeling you are talking about remote access!

Have a look at teamviewer or realVNC (there are several VNC flavours).

Otherwise, the likes of google docs (my favourite) or MSN's service (skydrive?) would do a good job.

I have used Gotomypc successfully in the past. There is a charge but you can do a free trial.

If you want to be able to access your desk computer whilst out of the office (ie all the programs, files etc) then go with GoToMyPC, Teamviewer or even MSN's service. These all connect you to your PC and you work on it as if you were sat at your desk.

If all you need access to is your files then take a look at SugarSync or JungleDisk. These keep a copy of your files on your computer, a copy on 'the cloud' and can then synchronised to your laptop that you take out and about.
