Our Verdict
Many of the swarm - syncing services out there , such as Dropbox , sync across all your computers and devices any datum you place in a specific , particular folder on your Mac ’s private road . This approach makes these service dead - simple to practice .
But as we ’ve underwrite elsewhere , you’re able to sync almostanyfolder on your drive through originative use of Unix symbolic links ( which are exchangeable to OS X ’s aliases)—assuming you get it on how to create them , or do n’t mind the fuss of doing so .
MacDropAnydoes all this legwork ( or fingerwork , if you will ) for you . Open a folder in MacDropAny — either by dropping the brochure onto the utility ’s picture , by found the utility and using its Open dialogue box to select the folder , or by take the desire brochure in the Finder and then using the new Sync Via MacDropAny choice in the Finder ’s Services menu — and you get a dialogue asking which sync serving you want to use : Box , Copy , Dropbox , Google Drive , iClouDrive ( the developer ’s app for using iCloud for syncing file and pamphlet ) , or SkyDrive . Choose a service and flick OK ; choose where in your service ’s sync leaflet you want the link to go ; and choose a name for the connection , and MacDropAny creates the appropriate emblematic radio link in the necessary location — your datum will begin syncing to the choose service directly ( ply you have an fighting Internet connexion , of path ) .
The developer ’s website provides instructions for keeping a pamphlet in sync between multiple electronic computer , even if that folder rest outside your sync service ’s special folder onanycomputer .
MacDropAny does n’t do anything you could n’t do on your own … assuming you knew the right Terminal commands and felt well-situated using them . But that ’s the vitrine formanysystem tweaks in OS X. MacDropAny is childlike , free choice that anyone can use .
