I know that this thread is a little old but I just thought that I'd update it a little. I had to try some of the sync apps that have been posted and I tried Second Copy which came so highly recommended by Rob (where were you all this time :wink: ). I ended up buying it mainly because it's so intuitive, error messages are really "why not do this instead" dialog popups (error dialogs that do nothing but say "Sorry, you can't do that" is just programmer lazyness. Errors should be handled and alternatives given either transparently or asking the user) which was truely a breath of fresh air and the fact that I can set deleted files to be held for a certain amount of time. When I rolled my own sync app (copy, cut and paste by hand) I always ended up with too many copies of deleted files and more often than not just nuking them because I was in a rush or some other stupid reason.
Even if it doesn't fit everyone's needs I thought that I would pass on the info in case anyone was interested in looking at it.
