For a long time I’ve been looking for the perfect utility to synchronize files an documents between the three PC’s I use on a daily basis. For home entertainment I have a Media Hub that’s built on Windows Media Center, I use my laptop around the house or if I’m working out of the office, and finally there’s my work PC that’s the mainstay of my day to day development work. Among these three I like to keep a copy of my music library on each for easy listening, and have various personal and work documents mirrored between my laptop and workstation.
Up to this point I’ve performed this file synchronization through adhoc solutions that have included one or more combinations of FTP, batch-files/scripts, VPN tunnels with shared drives, and an off the shelf solution such as Vice-Versa. These have all worked to a point, but the robustness and automation capabilities have all been lacking. However, around a month ago, quite by chance, I found a less well known member of the Windows Live Family - Folder Share.
