Instead of saving a copy of each file on each machine what you do is save the file on the pogoplug and every machine accesses it just like it was on the machine itself.
Ie, you create a folder called "My Shared Files", install Pogoplug drive software on your machines and then you would save the files to your shared folder and they can be accessed anywhere.
If you don't like doing that way you can try syncing programs or the Active copy program Pogoplug provides.

Here is what I do today that I want to hopefully replicate with PogoPlug, but haven't been able to find all my answers.
I am a Mac user at heart, but my company uses WinXP devices. I am able to keep all my files in sync between devices (one mac, one WinXP desktop, one WinXP laptop, and one WinXP netbook) by using a cloud service called SugarSync. The beauty of SugarSync is that there is an app running on all these machines that monitors the folders I have selected in My Document Folder and when I make any change to a document in a monitored folder, it replicates that file with no work on my part, to each machine and their cloud service accessible via a web browser and/or my iPhone.
So in short what I want to do is 1) avoid paying SugarSync for less gig's than I really need, 2) not have my data on their servers in the cloud, BUT I want the services that I am used to without requiring me to upload files, pay attention to anything. I want to know that if I leave my desktop machine one day with a new file I created, that it will be on my laptop, mac, iPhone that evening when I go looking for it. Does PogoPlug do this?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
