Synchronize two folders on the same Mac os X Lion
Is there a way to synchronize two folders on Mac OS X Lion on the following scenario please:
1) Each time I update or delete a file on a given folder, the other folder will change accordingly.
2) This should work both ways.
3) If I should run a program, it should run hide upon start up.
Can anyone point out a free solution please ?
Thanks a lot.
If you are curious about why do I need this?
Well, apparently we CAN'T point Google Drive to a Time Capsule folder.
So I thought that, perhaps we can place Google Drive on my local machine folder and use some sort of service to synchronize my local machine folder with my Time Capsule folder.

I think, you can use the Automator.
Here is a step by step guide to sync folders.
