My brother & I want to back up our photo collections between our respective computers. We each call the folder "Photos". We each add the folder to the mesh, and then give the other read-only access.
There are a few difficulties we've run in to:
- Both folders have the same name, so it's hard to tell which is which. I would rather name my folder "Photos" when I see it, and "Jay's Photos" when he sees it, and on his computer it'd live in "D:\Shares\Users\Jay\Photos" and on mine in "D:\Shares\Photos". (Vice-versa for his, of course.) I wish the folder names could vary.
- I can't easily tell if our folders are synced correctly. We periodically email each other with "My copy of your folders has 141 directories and 4023 files", but when they don't match, figuring out why is hard. I wish that I could check the sync status, and that I could see which files were not synced.
