How do I sync 2 off-site iMacs

[joe_dolen]

<p>My goal is to have two iMacs that are completely synced together. One iMac will be at my home, while the other will be at my studio. I would like to be able to go home and work on images in Lightroom, writing documents, etc. I thought I could probably travel back and forth with a lacie rugged drive, but how can I keep every single item on both computers in sync? Is it possible to do with an external hard drive? Thanks guys for your help!</p>

<p>Yes, using an external drive and software such as SynchronizePro or perhaps even Mac software (?), it can selectively write < > depending on date/time for each machine to ensure that both always have the up-to-date material.</p>

<p>Joe, I use Me.com to synchronize my work files between an iMac and a Macbook Pro. I also have access to the files on my iPhone and netbook so I can review a PDF or Word doc while on the road. But this is for my work docs (MS Office, PSDs, etc...) not for my gigantic Lightroom catalog where I've got tens of thousands of images. I think I pay ~$100 per year for 20Gig of synchronized cloud storage.<br>

This solution may or may not be workable, depending on how big your LR catalog is and the size of the directory with all your images.</p>

<p>Thanks John for your input. I don't think the me.com will work for me because my lightroom library is very large, and that is primarily what I am working with out of both locations. I appreciate your help!</p>

<p>chronosync is another good program for synchronizing two macs</p>

<p>Thanks Susan. I'll definitely look into that one too!</p>
