Windows software to Sync with Mac?

Trojan Horse · 9 Oct 2015 at 17:56

I just bought a new macbook and dont really get to using it (what a waste, could have got triple monitors) but I need software for me to be able to use my windows desktop at home and mac at school.

Does anyone know good software that would be useful in this scenario?
I have Dropbox but would like to consider a few more.

Google Drive is another option. There's OneDrive as well but not sure how well that works on OS X.

What kind of functionality do you want? Just cloud syncing of files?

Yeah I want to start coding and need some way of synching Eclipse over Mac and Windows so I can work on something on my desktop save go on my mac and then resume?

Have you created a Firefox Sync account?

Not a pretty way but if you click on the history icon there's an option to see tabs from other devices. Kinda buried away sadly.

As advised Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive should all meet your needs.

If you're a student you might be ale to get a version of Office 365 for free and that comes with 1TB of OneDrive storage.

Can confirm it works for OU email addresses, see the link below.

Even if you can't get the free version you should be able to get a big discount and you'll have 4 years of Office 365 and 1TB storage for £60 total, so £1.25 a month... bargain.
