If your lifetime plan includes writing an article or a book, you may need to learn how write a rather large document in LaTeX. Or maybe you are co-writing a document (Andrew and I did a big homework once and synchronizing files can be tricky).
One important thing is to use a file synchronizer like Windows Live Sync or Dropbox, but the other is to teach LaTeX to use multiple files.
The subfiles package can help with that. The documentation for subfiles is here.
It allows you to write a master file and several subfiles that can be compiled independently, so you can work on and compile each subfile (for example, a chapter or a section) and see the results, and compile the master file to see the full book. A simple and useful example can be found in Wikibooks.
