Hey,

anyone know if Tags will sync with other macs so that the tag browsers all sync>

especially with email.

Any help is appreciated

Tags are stored locally in the file metadata. If you set a tag on a file on one Mac and move it to another, then the tags show up. The Tags browser does some background magic to updates its own index.
I recently copied a large number of tagged documents to a new hard drive, and with no extra effort on my part, the tag browser has been populated with the new tags. I'm not sure how quickly this happened, but it was less than 30hrs. (May have happened overnight in some regular scanning script.)

Really appreciate it. Helpful information.

I was readings somewhere about MobileMe sync and other sync services.

are you aware of any of these?

Thanks

Sync works with tagged files in Dropbox. It also works if you use ChronoSync to sync files and set the Sync Triggers as "Extended" under Options. As far as I know iDisk won't sync tags.
