Hi folks

A question.

I have a Macbook Pro and A Macbook Air.

I travel a lot so One is my main computer with Entourage etc. and the other more for just taking on planes and hotel and stuff.

If I check my email and so forth - or add new files etc. on the Air - how do I sync all these files when I go back to my Main Macbook Pro unit.

Is there software? Is there a Utility??

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

SyncTwoFolders is good, but I wish there was an iTunes-to-iPod like dockng ability with the MBA, since chances are people would use it as a secondary machine.

If you use IMAP to view your emails in Entourage it will automatically be sync'd across the 2 Macbooks. For files you could use Dropbox which is now in public beta.

Cheers,
Ben

I find this app awesome. Like you, I travel a lot with my MBA. Any files that I change out in the field are changed automatically on my office-bound iMac. Likewise, any changes that my assistant makes in the office, I see immediately on the MBA even when I'm overseas. It's great. They've also just released an iPhone version, which I'm about to play with!
