| Any way to sync my PC folders using Groove with folders on a Mac? |

It would be kludgy but you might be able to run Groove under Parallels or Vmware Fusion and and map the sync folders to a directory that is visible under OS X.
Alternatively, it sounds like Microsoft has a technology called "Live Mesh" and there will be a mac client (one was leaked in late July).
Do you just need file sync or does it have to use Groove?

| Loaded foldershare and it immediately synced the directory structure and the file names in placeholder .p2p files. It does NOT seem to be correctly syncing the files themselves. I will give it more time, but it does not look good at the moment. |

| Still nothing. Adding a file to my Mac goes right over to the PC. But the files on the PC seem not to go to the Mac... |

| Let me download and play myself. Is it just over a local network? |

Yep, local network. Both computers are side-by-side and wired into the same wall.
I wonder if I need to specify a port or a password. |

| Modal, I originally tried the native syncing and folder sharing but it seemed awfully kludgy. Foldersync looks like it may be right, but it ain't working. |

| Thanks, I'll look. The Mac file issues you describe, I believe are all gone with 10.4. |

OK, I downloaded. Installed on my mac and PC and couldn't get the PC past the firewall issues. If you're running a microsoft built in firewall, that may explain the connectivity issues. I couldn't get past it.
Modified: I took a closer look at ifolder. Requires a server. Not ready. Still looking. |
