I am looking for a solution as to how I can synchronize an undefined amount of folders on my server. At the moment I have 3 folders, but it may increase in the future. Any of the folders can have files added to them and deleted, which should then be updated in the other folders. I imagine the synchronization should happen more or less instantly or at the very least every minute. After a file has been created in one folder, it may be queried in another folder soon after.

I have looked at rsync and unison, but haven't quite found a solution that works as I want it to. I may be wrong and rsync or unison may be applicable.

Yes, both rsync and Unison (among many other tools) will accomplish what you want. The difference between those two is that rsync is more minimal, like a beefed up cp or scp, and you will have to write some clever scripts and/or cron jobs to get the setup you want, while Unison takes care of more things itself. See the Unison tag wiki for more info.

Also, check out all the other sync utilities available too.
