The online cloud synchronization services on this list of apps to sync Mac are the popular services among various cloud synchronization services. The good news is that you can access data store with them from any device as long as you are connected to the internet. The not so good news is that there is no direct interaction with Mac OS X apps like iTunes or even synchronization of data like contacts or calendars. We selected iCloud, Dropbox, and SugarSync.

iCloud This is Apple’s cloud storage platform for all Apple devices. You can store and manage personal data in iCal, Address Book, and so on directly from your iCloud account. However, it is only available for Apple devices.

The apps are available on Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad. Check out our 15 day free trial of Things for Mac. The first time I opened it on my iPad, I couldn’t help but pause a few moments to admire it. It’s simple, but beautiful in its simplicity. Let’s end with an example of a piece of iOS software that is pure.

• Turn on Finder integration. If you’re on OSX 10.10 or higher, get sync status directly from Finder by enabling Finder overlays in Settings. First, click the Apple logo in the top left corner of your Mac Desktop and select System Preferences, then select Extensions in the top-level menu (shown in the 3rd row from the top). Toggle on the OneDrive Finder Integration to enable Finder overlays.

Dropbox This is the most popular nonplatform specific cloud storage service. Users choose Dropbox because it offers free cloud storage space. It also allows sharing of stored data with others even if they don't have a Dropbox account.

SugarSync Similar to Dropbox but less popular. It provides cloud storage space for data and folders transfer. The stored date can be shared or removed from all device in the case of loss or theft. It supports all major platforms.

Mac Os Sync Folders

Just curious, for those of you who use ntp servers on your network, how do you instruct your Mac OS X clients to sync their time/date with the ntp server?
Example: You know you have a time drift (i.e.; clock skew too great) on one of your Mac workstations and therefore your user is getting Kerberos errors. You cant reach the Mac physically (or you are too lazy like me), thus you need to sync the Mac's time/date via the cli over a ssh session. Do you use...
A) ntpdate?
B) ntpd -q?
C) systemsetup <-some option>
I prefer B personally, but Im curious how you guys do it.
I never understood the difference between ntpd -g and ntpd -q, so I always just use the -q option.
I think ntpdate is deprecated, but Im not positive.
I thought that one of the Apple 'systemsetup' commands would poll a ntp server and sync accordingly, but I cant find the proper option. Not sure.
