Store your game progress in the cloud - for free
Valve introduced a sub-service of their content delivery system Steam last November called Steam Cloud, which is basically a system to store your saved games on Steam servers as well, so that you could pick up where you left off on any other PCs you might have, without needing to do anything. The service sounds well, but sadly, only supports a limited number of games, most of them from 2008 and later. Games like Half-Life 2 and Portal were excluded with a notice from Valve that they will be supported in the future. In addition, Steam Cloud only supports games purchased and/or activated through Steam.
But with a little willpower and about 5 minutes, one could make his own Steam Cloud without repurchasing games or even paying a single dime. This can be done with Dropbox, a service currently in alpha beta which can sync a single folder across all of your Windows PCs, Linux computers and Macs. You don’t have to be a computer expert, too; you just need to have an advanced knowledge of computers and not have the irrational fear of black-background-white-text console windows many people have.
