Product Description:

Martian SlingShot makes the process of keeping files in sync between two or more Macintoshes as simple as a few clicks. By incorporating Apple's "Bonjour" technology, SlingShot makes finding and connecting to other computers on a network easy. SlingShot supports both simple one-way "mirroring" of files from one computer to another, as well as more complex two-way synchronization arrangements, in which files are updated on all participating computers.

With mirroring, SlingShot allows one computer to "Publish" a folder onto the network. Other computers then "Subscribe" to that folder, and SlingShot makes sure the subscribers' copies are always identical to the published data automatically. This allows users to be sure their data is always backed up and available on the other computers.

With two-way synchronization, several computers can contribute changes to the Folder. whenever a change is made to the files on one of the participating machines, the updated data is automatically sent to the others. No matter where work is done on the files, all the computers will be kept up to date.

SlingShot ReviewBuggy - Version: 2.0.3, 10/21/2007 07:59PM PST

This application has ALOT of potential, but it's seriously bugged in my experience. It's adding duplicate files with odd random names, and the playlist option isn't working right either.

Multiple emails to the developers have resulted in absolutely no response.

Too bad...I recommend checking out ChronoSync.

.Mac sync is great, but not sufficient for large files and folders, like iTunes and iPhoto. SlingShot syncs those folders with ease.

Guys,

I hope you do really well with this. It caught my eye on todays Version Tracker brief and I thought I might just do the job I need (sadly not).

Although I have not yet used this product in anger it looks lovely and should do the job. The UI is so simple I reckon my poor old Mum could use it. Sadly I'm trying to sync folders between machines which are not on the same net - Redevous (Arrghhhh Bonjour) only permits publishing of assets on the same sub-net.
