This is why I'm using google drive sync.

Hello and welcome to my first post.

I study web development for hobby at the moment, and today I want to share how I setup my new and first notebook.

I mainly use my PC desktop but few days ago I bought a notebook for work and for get back to study and to be able to do it where I want.

For this test I'm using Google Drive sync. I've never used for sync document in the web from my pc but this seems to be the perfect opportunity to test it.

I'm not only using for the code, so I can work on the notebook and desktop without the use of external USB or HDD, but I'm using it for CherryTree.

This program is like "OneNote" of Microsoft, but doens't have an online sync for using it on other device (PC). So the point is to have the database with all the notes on the google drive folder so now I can have the notes on my notebook and on my desktop.

Same things for the code. For small projects or just for exercise I don't want to use Github (maybe in the future I will).

Andddd....done. There are few other programs that I use like "To Do" by Microsoft and "Keep" by Google, but they are sync with the accounts.

Thanks for reading and see you next week with my Visual Studio Code config.
