anyone use dropbox?

Basically I'm looking for something that will sync the music folder on my desktop to my media server
they are both networked
it doesn't have to be over the internet but it seems like that is my only option if i want it done automatically

does any body have any sync software suggestions?

why sync? just drop a raid in your media server and set it up with an nfs-server

sorry i should have mentioned that my media server is an old desktop with windows installed
windows is installed because it's the only OS that i could find a media server to shoot my music to a networked 360

You can still setup nfs, ftp, ssh, etc servers on it (in spite of windows)

http://www.nfsforwindows.com/home (nfs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPDrive (ftpfs)

Just look around a little bit, this is much better than sending files from your computer to dropbox and back to another computer on your home network (there's tons of network file servers for windows, just look around for one that has the right features/faqs in the event you've never set one up before, you'll be much happier this way)

Well, I hear dropbox automatically detects two boxes on the same network and uses lan to sync those if that's any help.

that would be cool, as well as having a remote backup of my music, just in case.

Any of these programs work to sync folders between 2 drives on the same computer?


<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills
<@Negate> 12121212121212121212
<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.
