Best way to sync files between Macs?

Apple Script or rsync or even ChronoSync, the last one was easy to find though.

And "best" depends on your level of knowledge and commitment and how easy or how modifiable you want to have the synching service.

 

Dropbox can do exactly what you want, for small files (eg. Documents).

I use it to keep Documents folders on my MacBook and Hackintoshed Dell Mini in sync. If I make a change to document A on one computer it is instantly synced to my Dropbox, and then back to the Documents folder on the other computer. If I'm not connected to the internet and make a change, it is synced back as soon as I connect. The files exist on the computers' local drives, not in the cloud, so if anything should happen to either computer, or Dropbox itself, the files are safe.

I've been using this system for about 2 months, and so far it has been flawless.

Summary... Dropbox to sync my documents, Google CalDav to sync my Calendars, Google and iSync to sync my contacts, XMarks ( http://www.xmarks.com/ ) to sync my bookmarks.

I have 2 Macs, and 2 Linux computers and they are all synced together with these methods.
