Well, adding ~/Documents, say, to the list of things to be synced is a one-time activity. From then on, all documents you edit will be automatically synced when you save them. (I don't consider saving them an extra activity since most people save most of their documents anyway.) But if you invoke a script to do the syncing, then you have to invoke that script every time after a save. Kai
