Hmmness... I interpreted this blurb from the features section of the developer's page to mean that it did just that:

"With PadSync, files are always up-to-date and accessible on both devices. Any changes you make are automatically synchronized the next time you connect your iPad to your Mac. You'll never need to manually manage files."

That would be much appreciated if you don't mind! If you don't have time or would rather not, I will take your advice and go snag the trial copy. Thanks!

There's some value there, thanks!
