I agree, there should be a option or mirror or duplicate. I currently have mirrored hard drives and when I delete files they remain on the backup drive. I run a robocopy mirror to remove old files on the backup drive but the software should have this option built in.

Mine was running really slow but seems to be better after the last update.

I understand your feeling on that. I've decided to modify the Linux features on mine to make it do what I want. It is making the Pogo more valuable to me.

Seems like a common use case to me, and I'm surprised more people don't have this same issue. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Pogo can help in this requirement. Only workaround I know is making Pogo the master drive, but that is too slow for accessing all my files from home PC.

Yeah, I have the same issue. I want users to access files from everywhere, and the only solution I could come up with was to make the Pogo the master, as well. Like you, I rejected the idea.

And you're right, rsync would not solve the problem. The only upside is that rsync also propegates deletes, so your home HDD's deleted files would also disappear from the Pogo.

I was thinking of some kind of "inbox" for working remotely and modifying files... but I haven't come up with a good solution yet.

I'm thinking of using something like Unison, but, again, no solid leads in that area. If I come up with something, I'll update the thread. I would appreciate if you did the same.
