I use Dropbox to sync and backup most of my stuff. Out of the box, Dropbox makes it easy to sync documents, photos, music etc.
However, I also wanted it to sync application preferences between my Macs. This can be done in a rather simple way, using a Launch Agent and a simple Ruby script.
This is a basic overview of how it works:
The Launch Agent monitors your Preferences folder and a mirrored folder in your Dropbox
Whenever a file in one of these folders is changed, the Ruby script will be run
The script copies newly modified files from your Preferences folder to the Dropbox and vise-versa
Lets take a look at how to implement this.
