I've found it - The Ultimate ReadyNAS companion! AeroFS :)

Like many of us here, I've acquired a few ReadyNAS boxes over the years... And a few laptops, and a few desktops, and a WHS..... and...... you get the picture.....

Well, I was thinking this evening, wouldn't it be great if I could have the "Dropbox" like sync between several NAS shares, or folders on my mac, or folders on my win7 machine all together. I know you can obviously do this with dropbox, but what if I don't want to sync my 1TB to the cloud, hell, what If i want it on a private LAN with no internet connection, what if I'm a cheap bas@£%% who wants to do this all for free? That got me searching, and searching, and searching some more..............

I eventually came across these guys "AeroFS" - It's basically a Dropbox client without the need to sync to the cloud - It works over P2P, either over the internet or over your local network! SHWEET!!

They even have Windows, Mac, and Linux installers!!!!! But here's the catch.... I know nothing about Linux, and am Poop scared of breaking my NAS :)

Anyone willing to help me try install this?

Totally amped!
