Always I feel frustrated when getting to the office in the morning and realizing I left the most recent copy of an important file — be it a spreadsheet or a power point presentation — on my home computer. When I recently found that there are several free solutions that can automatically sync folders between computers – even over the internet, through office firewalls – no matter what OS in use, I was really thrilled. I feel these two free applications can help to edit the work files at home to magically appear on our PC at the office.
Sync Folders over the Internet with FolderShare (Mac and Windows, Free)
If the two computers we're working with aren't on the same local network and aren't both Windows machines — such as home Mac and office PC — can still sync files between them over the internet using a free service called FolderShare. If you haven't tried out FolderShare yet, sign-in to FolderShare and use download the appropriate FolderShare software to get it set up.
Sync Files to Your PC on a Local Network with SyncToy (Windows only, but can sync to any shared folder)
Free Windows utility SyncToy is a simple tool that synchronizes files between two folders (located on the same PC or on different computers). Download the SyncToy 2.0 beta and install it one PC that will be syncing with another.
