| 815195 | 2009-09-29 11:07:00 | Cheers for that, just playing with it now. There is more than just my computers on the network and I want laptop and desktop to sync. How do I do that without opening up either computer to others? It won't let me sync to a computer over the network if I dont have permission. I could easily sort it by just giving everyone full access to the folder im syncing but I don't want to do that |

| 815199 | 2009-09-30 10:16:00 | I use Windows Live Mesh for keeping my PCs in synch http://www.mesh.com Install it and if you create a Live Mesh Folder or add an existing directory to your Live Mesh you can tell it to just do peer to peer synching, else it can do that as well as synching your folders into the cloud as well (today limited to 5GB online storage) Cheers Nathan |

| 815200 | 2009-09-30 20:41:00 | Doesn't Hueybot only need syncing over his local network rather than online? Good Suggestion nonetheless, used to use Mesh and it was great. Didn't seem to support incremental syncing when I tried it though....does it support it now? Blam |

| 815201 | 2009-09-30 21:07:00 | What about auto syncing when you have both devices plugged in like smart phones do? | gary67 (56) | ||
