Then, you wouldn't even need to worry about syncing changes or running both copies at once. It works just fine over the Internet if your machine at home is always on, and if you can get your Firewall to Port Forward the appropriate port. It is more complex to set up, but much more powerful and flexible. But, just a quick suggestion for consideration as a possible alternative for this particular problem.

Fantastic for moving files between home and work and storing manuals and whatnot. Dropbox is awesome anyway and you should get it if you don't have it.

Using Dropbox would almost certainly work for this (and probably Google Drive, but like Alex, I have much more experience and trust in Dropbox's sync).

This would allow running MC at home and work at the same time, but of course syncing would always happen only from one MC instance to the other MC instance depending on how the external backup program instances are configured. To make this work correctly you would be able to run only one of the MC instances at a time.Īnother option would be to run an external backup program to automatically backup and restore these files to/from the dropbox folder. To sync just the library, you can easily use Dropbox for transferring a library backup file, but that would not be much different from using the USB stick.Ī bit more complex system would directly sync the library files and the thumbnail cache (the latter is needed to prevent MC from creating the thumbnails from the scratch each time the new library files are introduced.) You would need to use a library folder that is inside the dropbox folder and also move the location of the thumbnail cache there by tweaking the Windows registry.

I see, but how do you sync the changed or new media files?
