So for some time I have had the issue that my documents were on my Google Docs because that was the best way to share and collaborate on note taking for school, and all the materials we used were on DropBox because it could be on my computer and phone at the same time. I've been wondering about a solution that could combine the benefits of the two, so that come exams, I wouldn't have to download all my Google Docs and not be able to edit them in an exam situation (because I do that so that they're up-to-date for later exams). Anyways, a solution provided itself with the release of Google Drive, which also has a desktop application, just like DropBox.
It is, in its core, very simple.
1. Install Google Drive
2. Install DropBox
3. Put the DropBox folder into your Google Drive folder
4. PROFIT!
It's that simple, and you can of course do it the other way around as well, putting your Google Drive into your DropBox folder.
Enjoy seamless syncing across devices!

How to set up your IBA email account on your iPhone
To help out my fellow students at the IBA, here's a short 5-step guide on how to set up your IBA email on your iPhone, with pictures!
Go to Settings, and tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
Go to Settings, and tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
Tap "Add Account..."
Choose "Microsoft Exchange" (2nd from the top on the picture below).
Now enter your credentials as below, note that the "Server" line will not show up until you tap "Next". It will give you an error message, then enter the server as below, and tap next again.
Note: You can write whatever you want in the "Description", this will be the name that shows up in the overview (picture 1).
Now choose what you want to sync with the server. "Mail" must be on in order for you to read your school emails on your phone and synchronizing "Calendars" will allow you to see your schedule in your calendar on your iPhone. "Contacts" and "Reminders" are both optional.
And that's it, your iPhone will now display your schedule and you will receive emails from the IBA directly on your iPhone.
