How to sync folders between Macs

Spleen Sauce · 31 May 2008 at 13:02

Hi guys,

I've recently got myself a Macbook and I want to keep my music and photo libraries in sync with those on my iMac. Is there any free software which will do this for me, or an automator script or suchlike?

Thanks in advance.

I've created an Automator script for it now anyways which does the job. (see my blog if you want details)

I'm still interested to know any other solutions for this though.

www.getdropbox.com

Have a look at the video on there, and if that's the sort of thing you are looking for, post back and I will send you an invite. It works very well for me.

Yep, I've got dropbox and tried it out and it works well, however I don't really want gigabytes of data being uploaded to dropbox and then downloaded again to my other mac, I'd rather have something that works across my home network.
