Easy way to sync specific folder for 2 macs?

Just use Dropbox and keep the documents in the Dropbox folder. You can always make an alias to it if you insist on it staying on the Desktop.

 

I really like sugar sync for syncing specified folders. 5gb free.

I have to second Dropbox. It's painless and free.

 

My vote of confidence goes to Dropbox. It's the fastest, most stable and accessible of any.

The best apps are available for free across every known platform. PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, Linux, et al.

Plus if you Google it, you'll find more ways to use it than most similar cloud services. After years, they still continue to provide frequent updates, improvements, refinements & new Apps. This proves that it's a well accepted system that will thrive for years.

I use some others, mainly to stay current & informed, but I've yet to find one that's as good overall as the very efficient Dropbox.

It's a shame Apple continues to struggle with cloud services. Perhaps at some point they will hire the right people to get the job done right.

 

If you're looking for Mac software instead of a cloud-based solution, check out ChronoSync.

Dropbox prefers that you store your files in the dropbox folder, but there are plenty of ways to sync folders over Dropbox that are stored elsewhere. Check the Dropbox forums for more info.
