![]() ![]() I’m not a professional but I was looking for the same answers and still am I. What are your thoughts and suggestions for keeping Photo/Video folders and files in two-way sync across Mac, iPad devices? ![]() What suggestions, recommended solutions can you share? Not sure of the details but want 2 local copies (one on each device) and sync capability when devices are apart and/or together on same network. The "Files" tab of this approach only transfers data, but does not "Sync" data even though it uses the word "Sync".Ī few solutions I've seen in my research are:ġ. Note 3. Sync content between the Mac and iPhone or iPad using Finder (devices connected or on same wireless network) does not work because it wants to use iCloud OR it wants to use Apple Photos. But want them to stay in Sync so if any of the data (One or more Terabytes of Photo/Video files) is changed. Also, I think the best solution is to have 2 copies of all my data (one on Mac, one on iPad) for speed of files with local availability, and as a backup. I don't want a solution that uses iCloud OR Apple Photos or other cloud or photo storage/editing solution. I'm eventually going to a NAS but will stay with Google Drive in the meantime. Google Drive does not have Syncing features under the iPad Google Drive app. I had a nice workflow when I had Windows Desktops and Windows Laptops: Google Drive Backup and Two-Way Sync (now Google Drive Desktop for Workspace) kept all my Photo/Video folders and files in sync across all my devices.Įarly this year (January, 2021) I decided to migrate to Apple and bought M1 Mac Mini (currently has MacOS 12 Monterey) and M1 iPad Pro (currently has iPadOS 15). I use Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher on Mac and iPad. Change to AFP protocol Pros: Easier if you have already the volume all set Cons: It's slower than SMB3.I've researched the forum but still need to post for suggestions, recommendations. SMB filesystem client (implemented via the smbfs.kext kernel extension) led to stall and kernel panic. Some work better than others yet most importantly this is now a know issue by Apple. I've now tested almost everything mentioned here. ![]() If you could point me out on the right direction that would be awesome!! To messy and no output to keep an eye on things. Sidenote: Yes, there is rsync terminal input and I could create a script, I've tried that, didn't get along very well. Some I've seen so far: a) Chronosync Express - the rating is quite low, and don't seem to be arm64 based version b) Goodsync - the name rings a bell, I think I've already tried that on windows c) CarbonCopy - it might be overkill but if it comes to that, so be it d) Duplicati - I think it is more a backup solution rather that syncing but ok I will buy the software, just want to make sure it is future proof and it is optimised for M1. (I'm thinking that the app could be rsync based so I could be rest assured it would be best integrated with macOS, it this a valid point or not so much?) Of course I've searched but there are to many options out there, haven't found a compreehensive review, there is no consensus on the best one. I can do it by hand but I believe that should be a solution out there that meet the criteria. It is crucial to me to have a batch or a schedule task for it to happen automatically. Some folders can have 500GB worth of data. The dev is a great guy, and I have tested out the arm64 version which at the time was still in beta and it worked ok, but if I want to move +50GB files it is a problem. I have numerous crash logs, it's a disaster. _ I've been using FreeFileSync in my windows machines and it works great. TL:TR I've been looking around for quite a while for an app that can sync folders (one way and two way) and keep them updated for macOS optimised for M1. ![]()
