Groove and the Mac (Read 748 times)

It would be kludgy but you might be able to run Groove under Parallels or Vmware Fusion and and map the sync folders to a directory that is visible under OS X. Alternatively, it sounds like Microsoft has a technology called "Live Mesh" and there will be a mac client (one was leaked in late July). Do you just need file sync or does it have to use Groove?

How about these options then: http://www.foldershare.com/ http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ Foldershare looks like the easiest solution and will sync up to 2GB in files for free (I think). It has both mac and pc clients.

Loaded foldershare and it immediately synced the directory structure and the file names in placeholder .p2p files. It does NOT seem to be correctly syncing the files themselves. I will give it more time, but it does not look good at the moment.

Let me download and play myself. Is it just over a local network?

I'll make a run at it later tonight.

Modal, I originally tried the native syncing and folder sharing but it seemed awfully kludgy. Foldersync looks like it may be right, but it ain't working.

Thanks, I'll look. The Mac file issues you describe, I believe are all gone with 10.4.
