I want to be able to sync my flash drive to a folder on my Mac (running Leopard). So say if I work on a Word document on another Mac or PC it will recognize the update and sync my files. I would like something smart enough to realize what has been created, added, or edited so that it doesn't copy all of my files back and fourth every single time. I need something reliable as well. I can't afford to be losing files. Thanks for any help.
Got a tip for us?

The only thing I can think of is some sort of automator or apple script. Doubt a folder action would work due to the whole disk mounting thing so basically I think you're stuck using drag and drop looking at the date modified.
Yeah, there is a merge app that comes bundled with the developer tools/xcode. It isn't quite as automatic as just sticking the usb drive in and letting it go, though.
yes, why thank you for your tremendous help...
i obviously could have done that- i was looking for recommendations. i wanted suggestions on which applications worked well and which were worthless.
thank you, nonetheless.
