Keeping a local folder synced to a Network drive

[FrozenCanadian]

Hi all, Long time since I've been here. I have a Western Digital MyBookLive 2TB that connects to my router ASUS rt-n53. I want to keep a folder on my 2 of my PC's synced so that any changes to one happen to the other, etc. The OS's involved are Vista and 7, although I am no stranger to Linux if that would be an easier way to go.

Thanks all,
John

Check out Create Synchronicity at SourceForge. I use it and like it so far. And it works to network drives as long as they have a drive letter.

If one is a networked drive as your title states, just map the same drive on your other pc and the that's it. There really is no syncing with a network drive, you're just looking at the same content on both pc's through your networked western digital drive.

No, I mean 3 folders, 2 comps/ 1 drive all holding the same data down the the byte, like triple back-up.

Robocopy/richcopy on a schedule would work

Ty Synchronicity seems to be what I want. Thanks for the help.

There's something called Cubby that I just found out about, and it's really awesome. Basically you can designate any folder as a "cubby", and it will sync that particular folder to your Cubby online. You can then sync that folder to any computer you want if you download the Cubby software. It's kind of like Dropbox except you don't have to manually put things in it.
