Dropbox + pinpkm = anytime, anywhere Knowledge Management

By visionwei

 

I believe you have some experience with pinpkm. We will introduce how to use Dropbox and pinpkm.

Dropbox is a synchronous backup software with a server and client (but only one task can be used during use ). You can go to the application page from the following link.
Https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE2NjI4MDM5
(This is my invitation link. After successfully applying for and downloading the software, you can increase the space by MB for me. You can also get MB more space than directly applying from the official website, in the future, you can use this method to obtain additional space)

To put it bluntly, if you operate on the home machine and click Enter, you will be asked to register an email account, and then the next software will be required to download (a little slow) and install it, log On (you will be asked to name your computer at this time. It is recommended that you do so to distinguish between several machines), and then proceed to the next step. Pay attention to the last step, it requires you to select the location of the folder to be backed up and synchronized (default: D:/doucment/my dropbox). You can choose where to store the folder, but you cannot change the folder name my dropbox. (All files to be synchronized and backed up must be placed in this folder, Which is criticized by netizens ). Then you can start using it.

I moved the entire pinpkm to my dropbox, and the system automatically uploads the content (automatically supporting subfolders and files) to the server, which is equivalent to a network hard disk. You can log on to the server to load the entire content no matter whether the software is installed or not.

You can install the Dropbox software for the machine used in your office and set it as well. You will find that it automatically downloads the pinpkm uploaded to the server on the home machine to your my dropbox. The speed starts slowly. After all the download is complete, you can use pinpkm normally, and the content is exactly the same as the pinpkm you use on your home machine. Now you can edit the file. The Dropbox software will automatically upload the file with a change in pinpkm to the server (this process will be faster, because only the file with a change will be uploaded, this is usually not a lot). When you go home and use pinpkm, you can open the file you edited in the Office (this process seems quite fast, I almost don't feel like it is downloading content on the server. Maybe there are few changes in the Office), so I don't need to bring a USB flash drive, which is the most enjoyable.

There are still a lot of software similar to Dropbox, such as sugarsync, syncility (I don't know if there is a spelling mistake), Windows Live Mesh, and Windows Live sync. The first two instances Support 2 GB free space at the beginning, and you can receive a reward space of no more than the specified number by invitation. Windows Live Mesh has 5 GB space, but cannot be added. Live Sync has P2P space.

However, sugarsync only supports two sub-servers, and Dropbox is not limited. If you have several sub-servers that need to be used frequently, select Dropbox. If you only use two sub-servers, select sugarsync, because it can select the folder to be backed up and synchronized, rather than the specified folder, you only need to set the data file of pinpkm as the synchronization backup folder when used in combination with pinpkm.

Many people are introduced to syncility. The basic function is similar to sugarsync. The only trouble is what environment is required for installation. If Jave or. NET is forgotten, it needs to be installed separately.
Windows Live Mesh also requires many steps for installation (basic software is fast, but some plug-ins need to be installed to obtain powerful functions ), it also seems that it also needs to put the file to be synchronized to the specified folder, which is like Dropbox. unlike sugarsync
Windows Live sync is P2P. It can only be synchronized when both dual-host software is enabled. It does not have a third-party storage manager on the server. However, its P2P support is said to support a single file of 4G size. It is good to upload files to others.

Based on these considerations, I chose Dropbox + pinpkm = anytime, anywhere knowledge management.

-----------------------------------
Some problems may occur during use. One is the space size. At first, there is only 2 GB free of charge. After invitation, you can increase it to 5 GB (?), Of course you pay more. For this reason, please click https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/nte2nji4mdm5if xdjm is interested. 2G (5g) Space,If you can practice pinpkm on the information"No re-collection and re-digestion"Concept, it should be enough for me to use. It is not enough. Can I export unnecessary data to another Storage Based on the date view. At that time, there should be other better synchronization software.
The second problem is that the machine code may change if it is registered. My 8. 20. Get a registration code, and then use Dropbox. After the entire migration, the machine code changes and cannot be registered. I told Wu Gong that I had to upgrade to 8. 28. I found that the machine code has changed again, and several machine codes are different (this is what I saw in the first registered machine and I didn't try to register them on several machines ). But on other machines using Dropbox, we can see that the machine code of pinpkm has changed.

I have not applied to Wu gong for the upgraded registration code. I don't know if I can ensure that I can move the update on a fixed machine or use the same registration code. If the application is successful and you try it out, let's discuss the problem.

Thank you. (Forgive me for not putting pictures in the process. It is not difficult to follow the steps)

 

 

 

A few days before the update, I received a new registration code sent by Wu Gong. Combined with the synchronization function of Dropbox on other hosts, I opened the updated pinpkm on the local machine (home machine) and found that the registration was normal. That is to say, no matter which machine is configured for synchronization, the Newly Edited pinpkm can always be opened on the registered machine, and the pinpkm is also registered. In this way, at least one server can always enjoy the registration function.
When using Dropbox + pinpkm, You need to note that if you want to view the latest documents you have edited on the local machine on another machine, make sure that documents edited on the local machine are synchronized to the server. Otherwise, the system will shut down the computer if it has been edited by host a but has not been uploaded completely. The latest editing results are not displayed on machine B. You can edit the results and upload them completely. Return to server a and you will find that the edited items on server a are missing. The recently synchronized documents are displayed, that is, the documents on server B. Therefore, make sure that the upload is complete.
The method is to develop the habit of entertaining after work. After editing on machine A, close pinpkm so that Dropbox can have enough time synchronization to back up your files. During the synchronization process, there is a box + cycle arrow icon on the system taskbar. After synchronization, the icon is changed to a box + check box.
You may think it is troublesome to use software as needed, but sometimes it is difficult to adapt to the software to form a better learning habit. Generally, there are not too many files to be edited each time. Unless you import many files at a time, the synchronization upload speed is still relatively fast. After learning, you may have to steal a dish.
Of course, this software also provides a very good function: version control. The content uploaded recently is stored on its server, instead of the last version. In this way, if you accidentally fail to synchronize the file completely, you can use the version control function to retrieve the original document. The specific method is not described in detail on the Internet. I use it myself.
Log on to the Dropbox website (right-click the Dropbox icon in the taskbar and select lauch Dropbox website). Select recent events to display the recent synchronized backup record recorded by Dropbox for you, each record is displayed after a time. After finding the corresponding record, click X more items (X is a number, which indicates the number of documents you uploaded) now you can see your valuable documents. You can download and import pinpkm. As for files such as. dat displayed, it is used by the pinpkm system. If you do not understand it, you can simply use the document.
Thank you again for your registration code. The letter tells us that after version 8.50, a user can have one account, regardless of the machine. Hope to come out quickly.
Also, are there any custom Q & A learning functions in the software update plan?
