Sync files back and Forth Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:33 am • by costacurta
Hello There!

I'd like to know wich is the best way to sync files back and forth between 2 folders.

Let me explain:

- I have a folder with a Huge number o .txt files (My nvAlt folder)

- Some of this files are To-do lists that I open in TaskPaper for iOS

- This files starts with a "-" to indicate that they are to-do lists

- TaskPaper isnt handling very well the huge amount of files from that folder (It takes too long to list all the files and search through then)

- So I decided to sync only the .txt files that starts with "-" to another folder, so Task Paper can work more gently.

- But I'd like to still be able to edit this To-do lists in the 2 folders (not at the same time) and have the changes being synced back and forth

- i.e: I'd like to edit this to-do files (in the original folder) in nvAlt while I am in my Mac and also edit then in my iPhone with Task Paper (in the synced folder) and have aways the same files in the 2 folders...

I'm I asking to much?

:-)

Thanks
costacurta

Hazel doesn't do 2-way sync. I suggest finding software especially made for that type of thing or just use something like DropBox and be done with it.
