Seems nice. Unfortunately will only sync from a local volume to external. Will not sync external to external.

Can recommend this excellent app. I can sync all my files wirelessly to an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme base station - something that Carbon Copy Cloner can't do. The setup is fast and easy, and within minutes of downloading the app, I was backing up my files. DropSync works nicely in the background so I am able to work on other tasks. Highly recommended!

Can't comment on the app yet, but the developer is very responsive and keen to help out. I asked him by email if DropSync could be used to keep the Applications folders of my Mac OS 10.6.5 MacBook and iMac in sync over a home AirPort network, and he researched the heck out of it before sending me a detailed and friendly response.

The answer was a qualified 'Probably,' and I got the impression that he will have tried and figured out the complexities just as a form of mental calisthenics before I ever find the time to try it myself!

Now I can't wait to give DropSync a whirl.

I can tell you right now that syncing the Applications folder is out of the questions. While it might work for some Apps it will definitely not work for a lot of them. To begin with the Apps are not stored in your user account so you will have problems with file permissions. Secondly, lots of Apps depend on files the install elsewhere on your disk. Look under /Library/Application Support bot in your user account and on the root of your disk. Those files will not tag along on a sync. Thirdly, when you have made a mess there is no support to be had from anyone since this is not supported.

Don't go there. You have been warned...
