Syncing my files

Hello everyone,

I am currently a student and do a lot of computer work at school and at home. When I want to bring home files to work on them, I must throw them onto my external hard drive. Then move them to my computer. This is slightly annoying.

So I was wondering if you know of any applications, that let me sync everything from my external hard drive to my iMac when I plug it in.

Does that make sense?

So lets say I have on my external hard drive:
Fall 2010>Class A> File A

And want it to sync to:
User>Fall 2010>Class A

This way, I can simply place the file(s) onto my external while at school, then come home and plug it in. It would sync, then I would have any new files I put on the external, on my computer, in the proper place.

I figure this is probably a lot to ask from an application. But I know very little about Macs and computers in general and figured why not ask.

Thank you so much for your time

 

Thanks for the reply.

I was considering on online service but unfortunately I am cheap as hell.. Lmao. And 2 gbs won't cut it. I'm working with indesign, photoshop and illustrator so the files can get quite big. Especially when high res photographs are in the works.

I will look into the Carbon Copy Cloner and see if it will work for me.

I'd keep the files there but I am worried about my hard drive crappy out. So having a back up on my computer brings a good feeling.

thanks again!
