macos - How to synchronise filesystem between 2 Macs?


So I'm a recently converted Mac OS X user. I have an iMac which I use when I work at home, because it's comfy and powerful. I also have a white Macbook for when I'm working away. Right now, I'm constantly having to transfer files back and forth between the computers in order to always have the latest version of each file on both computers.


I do it manually, so my question is: what's the best way to keep 2 Mac OS X installations synchronised automatically?


On Windows I used livedrive.com but they don't have a desktop client, which is what was keeping all my computers in sync. I would prefer a free solution, if that exists.



Answer



Check out DropBox. It's what iDisk should have been. The free plan might even be enough for your needs.


Windows Live Sync or Windows Live Mesh would also be worth investigating -- they're both free and have clients for OS X.
