Best way to Sync email and browser data using online storage?
I would like to sync my Firefox, Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail between my desktop and my notebook computer. (And my Vueminder calendar.) What is the best way to do this?
I was think of switching Firefox and Thunderbird to the portable versions and storing them in a folder that syncs online. I'm not sure how it will work with Windows Live Mail. I know how to change where the mail "store" is located, but not sure if changing that will automatically copy everything to the new location. I imagine I will have to copy the current folder to the location that will be synced and then set the mail "store" to this location. Probably something similar with my calendar program.
Can anyone tell me if there are any pitfalls to doing this that I am unaware of?
Also, any recommendations for free online storage/syncing that will work well for this? What should I look for? Reliability and security concerns?
I currently use Dropbox, but I do not have enough free space to use it for my email, browser and calendar data.
I am considering iDrive which offers 10 GB free. I am also considering FileLocker, but that only gives me 5 GB free even though they advertise 25 GB free. (The 25 gb free is for five different users on the same account.) I had been thinking of using SugarSync, but it looks like their free account is now only for 30 days.
Thank you in advance for any advice and recommendations! :)
ETA: I took a closer look at SugarSync, and they do still offer free 5gb: https://www.sugarsync.com/free/
