Re: syncing Windows and Mac Machines

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks Terry. I'm not quite sure how to do this, but it sounds like a
solution is emerging. I should have noted that I have manually copied many
but not all of files onto the hard drives of both machines. I'd like to have
both machines stay current with all the files that are both. For this
reason, I think I'd still then need to have some process of routinely
syncing. Would you use the "synchronize" utility found on XP under
"Accessories" to achieve this?

Thanks,

Bob

I have two laptops, one running Windows XP and the other one a Mac with the
earlier version of OS X (I think it is Tiger). I'm using MS Office on both
machines and I'd like to sync the data so that the same files appear on both.
Is it possible? If so, how?

Thank you for any information you can give on this.

Hi Bob,

I would network the two of them together, share a folder on the XP drive
and keep the files in one central location. The Mac will be able to
access the shared folder. Or purchase a network drive and store the
documents there and access them from either laptop.
