Q: Syncing files between Mac & Windows

Hello karstenjensen.dk!

Have you tried using Dropbox yet?

I find it to be very reliable and it syncs everywhere. It doesn't mattter about the platform as long as it has an internet connection.

ALSO I c&p this from Microsoft's site:

Windows Live Mesh will be retired on February 13, 2013. Before this date, make sure you save all the files you want to keep from the Mesh cloud (called "SkyDrivesynced storage" or "Mesh synced storage") on your computer. After this date, allMesh features (including remote desktop and peer-to-peer syncing) will stop working. For info about switching from Mesh to SkyDrive, see SkyDrive for Meshcustomers. For info about uninstalling Mesh, see How do I uninstall one or more Essentials programs?

Hope this helps,

xeni

Cubby's a great service, it is cloud based but operates like Windows Live Mesh.

Hi sorry about about that! I was just quickly googling while helping some others on the forum not really paying enough attention. Cubby is a good service from what I've heard.

Here are some reviews:

Use SugarSync, you can synchronize designated (any or all)  folders to other machines, no special folders required.

You can also sync the folders on your Mac to iPhones, Androids, Symbians etc.

I use it to keep 2 laptops and a desktop's user folders identical, I save a file on one (or delete it) and the action is replicated immediately on all others.

As I posted before, SugarSync does exactly what you want and is free (up to 5G storage) and inexpensive (5-500G storage)

Is there some reason you don't want to use it?
