Pseudo-sync Safari Bookmarks on your own server
By the looks of this hint (using ln -s in Terminal) you could use Dropbox as the shared storage location as well. This would directly provide security and easy access from multiple Macs without requiring server space of your own. I haven't tried this on Safari, but after swapping out a flash drive for Dropbox in a previous hint (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100311031512470) I've now got user data of a few other programs syncing between Macs over Dropbox.

I'm surprised more people have not suggested this. A simple symbolic link link to your dropbox.

I use Dropbox for this. I use this not only for bookmarks, but mainly for my session and browsing history, since I often will visit a site and not bookmark it but then want to return to it a few days later, or just go to open the windows from my last session on my MacBook, when my last session was on my iMac.
Pseudo-sync Safari Bookmarks on your own server
Thanks for the note. Indeed, I started this post with information that I had learned from other people who were using Dropbox. The reason I posted this hint was because I had some concerns about syncing my ~/Library/Safari folder with a server that other unknown people have access to... otherwise the Dropbox idea is a great one. Also, it doesn't seem that you can just sync the Bookmarks.plist file - it only works with the entire directory. What do you think about that: the privacy of your data on Dropbox? Their website says that it is encrypted, and that their employees cannot view the files that you upload... so maybe it is OK... |
