Briefcase

The Briefcase is a Windows invention designed to help you keep your files in sync between a laptop and a desktop computer. You can use free services like Dropbox.com and SugarSync.com to achieve exactly the same result with your Mac. Or, if it’s your calendar, address book, or mail account that you want to sync, just use iCloud, as described in Chapter 10.
