The only problem is Google Docs Spreadsheets fail catastrophically once they get to a certain size, you cant open them therefore you cant reduce their size, you cant download or export them. And if you choose to delete them then you will lose the connection between the App and the spreadsheet thus loosing any future crash reports (the spreadsheet and the app are linked by a form key imbedded in the App and unique on Google Docs). http://mbwasi.com/2012/12/02/programming-for-android-installing-everything-you-need-new-simpler-process/ Sun, 02 Dec 2012 02:08:07 +0000 http://mbwasi.com/2012/12/02/programming-for-android-installing-everything-you-need-new-simpler-process/ We go through setting up your development environment using the just release ADT Bundle which simplifies the installation process tremendously!

What an online backup service does is copy your local files to its own servers, then if your hard drive crashes, your laptop gets stolen or gets washed away in a Tsunami you are secure in the knowledge that your irreplaceable files can be restored with a few clicks of a mouse. What to backup? This will of course vary from person to person, here are some suggestions.
