I currently have MySQL installed on 2 pcs and a laptop and they all store the same data.

I am trying to have all 3 computers sync so that i can jump from one pc to another without worrying about importing updates in sql...

First, i tried to use MySQL's replication service and it works fine but i really hate having to leave my computer online all the time.

Then i tried dropbox. I moved the data folders of mysql to dropbox and everything went perfectly the way i wanted it but as you might have guessed this approach consumes lots of bandwidth which i really hate.

So i hereby ask for your expertise to find out if any of you out there have the same need and how you manage it.

Thanks in advance!

A USB drive? The data has to be moved one way or the other. – Nifle Aug 27 '12 at 2:17
