I have a USB key drive which is great for carrying stuff around. It's cheap, very portable and I do actually keep in on my key ring. I would like to hold a regular set of files which are always up to date. Does anyone know of an app which will allow me to sync my files whenever I plug the key drive into my PC?

I know I could use iTunes but this is just a key drive not an ipod.

Any ideas?

Unison. It uses rsync to do the actual copying, and includes
all the necessary scripting.

If you're using XP, Synctoy which is one of the free MS Powertoys.

Should these be added to the Useful Freeware Apps sticky at the top of the forum?
