Thanks to Evernote I’m not “producing” so many files anymore (hence no need for a very big Dropbox) - I dump many things to Evernote, my sketches, scans, documents, I clip articles I find interesting thanks to the Reeder integration… basically I treat Evernote as my second brain. That’s why it was so important to me that Evernote synced with my Nozbe project management app. I’m a big Evernote fan and I’ve been using them for three years now. Cloud #3 - Evernote for media-rich notes and stuff Dropbox apart from the iCloud is the second storage space I will use a lot on my iPad.

Many apps sync with Dropbox (like 1Password) which is great and helps me stay in sync with my home PC if I need to. Most of my “normal” files are synced via Dropbox - I’m a premium member but have found out that with about 10Gig of space I’m pretty much covered for most of my file storage. Oh, and my iPad will sync today for the first time with the iCloud. I’ll talk about this setup sometime in the future. We are using a common iCloud account with my wife to sync our contacts and calendar as well as our particular iCloud accounts for our personal needs. Many apps (like “Day One” for journal) also sync via iCloud. The default iCloud is of course the basis of my post-PC iPad - my contacts, calendars and other Apple-relevant stuff is synced via iCloud. Over the last few days I’ve been playing with different apps and setups and found out that there will be at least 7 cloud services involved in my iPad only setup, here they are in order of importance: Cloud #1 - the iCloud for settings and some files
And it’s very exciting :-) 7 Clouds to rule them all iPad is a post-PC device and needs a different approach. Luckily I have 64GB of storage so plenty to go by… but I need to go away from just storing everything here. Lots of companies are talking about moving to the cloud and how it can be accomplished and there are many “cloud” services out there… and what I have found out is that in order for my ipad experiment to work I really need to use several cloud services and balance between storing data in the cloud and locally on my iPad. Life in the cloud… and there are more clouds than we think The last two days I’ve been setting it up and made a few discoveries… about the clouds and the significant part they’ll play in my “iPad only” journey. As I mentioned in my last blog post over the course of the next weeks I will try to make this very iPad my only computer, actually spending 80%+ of my time working on the iPad. Today is my first day of working entirely on the iPad.
