Secure synchronization with wuala

Today I reanimate my Mac (the one you can’t carry in a small bag ;-) and came back to the secure synchronization problem. Woala seems to be a new and good pice of software, developed in Switzerland from some IT guys - you got my trust. Seems to work good for backups, but changing a 5MB file on both machines leads to one version and no complaints about a conflic (the newer silently wins). Thats not ok for my Things Database (todo-list)…

Secure synchronization with OS X launchd and unison

After some weeks of using TeamDrive I felt that I have to get another solution for syncing. TeamDrive isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. It works most of the time, say 95%. But syncing is a matter of 100% trust, so I can’t live with crashes or “oh, I’ll sync in a few minutes, perhaps”.

So I decided to give unison and OS X “Folder Action” a try. But those don’t have a “on file change” event and reading about it many user complain that they aren’t really reliable. So that wouldn’t be better that TeamDrive.
