[OT] Saved by Dropbox Packrat

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Andre,
I've just srarted using Google Drive like this and it seems to work great
too.  Good idea about the plugins - up to now, I've just put my stack files
in there.

Googe Drive has a versioning system in the free version although I don't
know how many versions they keep or how long they keep them around for.
