That's a very neat trick that I had completely forgotten about.
I've used it in the past using my iDIsk to sync between machines, but I
had problems (because the iDisk would fail to sync *very* often).
FolderShare is an interesting alternate solution (even in the free
option they offer). I wonder why FolderShare doesn't get more Mac press.
Almost no one around me seem to be aware the service exists...
