Hey guys, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section of the Forum.
I got Google Drive a few weeks ago. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a folder on your computer that gets synced with a cloud storage drive.
I already lost a lot of old programs due to a computer failure, so I wanted to be able to save and read all Arduino files to my Google Drive folder. Saving to that folder was simple, but every time I save a new file, I have to navigate to the Drive folder. Also, my saved files do not show up in my Sketchbook.
Basically, I need to change the (sketchbook?) folder that every thing saved and read from for my Sketchbook. I am using Arduino 1.0 (Latest, as of May 7, 2012).
What would work even better is to install FileHampster and configure that to store its backups on your Google Drive. That way you can recover any historical version of a file, not just the latest version.
Personally, I use git. I put the root of my sketchbooks folder on github, and just commit/push everything at the end of each day.
This gives me the ability to go back to any day in time, and to view differences of what I changed, and do branching or whatever if I want.
But, most importantly, it gives me the ability to easily merge between machines, AND it gives me an easy place to point at when I have questions about my code.
The draw-back: The free version of git requires that you make all your files readable by everyone. Personally, I don't mind at all.
