FN-GM Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Hi, I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro. I would like some software that can sync the documents between them on the LAN. I am running 10.6 Does anyone know anything i can use please? Thanks
SYNACK Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I know you were looking for LAN but if you are willing to use a net alternative Live Mesh will do this and a bunch more on the Mac Download details: Windows Live Mesh for Mac
mac_shinobi Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Wondering if you can use the migration assistant in the utilities folder, seems to be giving me the right options. Can't confirm this as I do not have another mac on the network to test this.
localzuk Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Something like this? ChronoSync | Perform File and Folder Synchronizations and Backups Like Clockwork | Econ Technologies 1
FN-GM Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks guys, keep them suggestions coming. I will sit down early next week and have a play
Admiral208 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) i think dropbox has a lan sync option. ive never used it but I seem to remember seeing something about it. EDIT: Thought so... http://www.dropbox.com/help/137 Edited January 20, 2011 by Admiral208
somabc Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Dropbox has LAN sync just turn it on in the Client. Worked well on my Home LAN.
soveryapt Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Another +1 for DropBox, I use it to have access to bits and pieces for various organisations I'm involved in, the LAN Sync is really quick good, and even works Mac > PC > Mac so all is good. The only issue with DropBox is the 2GB limit unless you buy an account, so it could get picky if you went over that.

Admiral208 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Here is another I have used in the past. DirSyncPro. i thought it was really good. DirSyncPro
soveryapt Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Dam thats not ideal, i have more than that Yeah, the stuff I want to sync is literally documents (meeting minutes, PDF proofs of designs, etc) if I'm doing anything bigger then I either send it over the WiFi myself, or I use a memory stick ..
36Degrees Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Synchronize! Pro X works very well, especially for a Mac illiterate like me! I bought a licence for this for here so that we could do a regular synch from our Mac Mini server which contains pupils files to a Windows share for backup purposes.
somabc Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 There is always rsync, you could set a regular task to run rsync and transfer any changes.
