I’m not sure what I was smoking so I had to recreate a new user account and migrate my files to it.

Essentially on my Mac Pro my user account shortname is jschnell, and the shortname on my Laptop was jjschnell.

I was trying to sync my user account folders and I couldn’t figure out how to match them up, if they weren’t titled the exact same. The first thing I noticed with ChronoSync is that it’s pretty stubborn. Everything I’ve read about ChronoSync tends to illustrate a PC to PC synchronization, and entering a third computer to the mix doesn’t seem like a plausible option (Correct me if I’m wrong), unless you purchase multiple licenses of ChronoSync. In my setup I have one computer acting like a server, and the rest syncing with it, so I have ChronoSync running on my Mac Pro, and Chrono Agent on my MacBook Pro. Off the top, you should know that your ChronoSync license will work on one computer only, and that you’ll likely also need the Chrono Agent for each of the machines you’re wishing to sync to. Simple and effective, but ChonoSync is one of the the least painless ways to getting your files synced. I’ve yet to find one resource to do all my syncing in a way that’s ChronoSync is known for its ease of use, but it also has some limitations that make this far from the ideal approach. I say we’ll be syncing our documents folder because it’s probably the most straight forward approach to synchronizing, but the reality is that you can really sync anything you want, so long as you have the time to work the kinks out. Using ChronoSync to sync your documents folder. It’s not an easy process, but if you can stick through to the end you’ll be happy you gave it a shot. There’s a good chance you’ll be at this for a while, and a couple of headaches are likely in store. I’ve put together two options to help you guys get this done. There’s other reasons, such as syncing movies and music and getting applications synced, but for me, getting my files when I want them, where I want them, is my main objective.

Syncing your files has a host of benefits, of which getting your documents to be up to date on every machine in your house is probably the most lucrative. I’ve struggled over the years with getting my files sync’d, and I’m holding out hope that a company like Dropbox will soon let us run an application over our LANs so that we can get a lot of this stuff done at a much quicker pace. There’s a number of options for syncing your home folders on the Mac, none of them are straight forward, and each offer up a different subset of challenges, but if you can wrap your head around the complexity, they can certainly help you get your computers synchronized.
