I’ve started using Dropbox to manage keep my desktop and laptop in sync.  The desktop is Windows and the laptop is Arch Linux.  So far, I have used it for documents and Portable Applications.  I’m considering using it as a central repository for the git version control program.  One of the nice things I have found is DropboxPortable.  It lets me keep a folder on a USB drive in sync with my Dropbox folder.

The folder system that I have is:

• Applications: Used for Portable Applications
• Backups: Backups of some important files.
• Documents
  • Year, Semester: I’m in school so this is the current semester.
    • Course ID, Course Name: Any courses in which I am currently enrolled.
  • Job Search: This holds my resumes and applications.
  • Project Name: Any files that I need for a project that I am currently working on.
• Documents-Archive: Where I move the folders from Documents when they expire.
• Public: Anything within this folder is publically available on the internet.
  • index.htm: I have a copy of Wiki on a Stick
• Website: I am working on generating a static site and this is where I keep the source files.

I thought that I should document the folder tree that I am using.
