How to Do a Remote Folder Sync
Syncing files and folders remotely allows you to share files and keep them up to date on two computers over a shared network connection. This setup also reduces the hassle of having to manually copy files and folders over to an external hard drive or thumb drive every time you want to transfer files between computers. By using the built-in syncing tool in Microsoft Windows called Briefcase, you can sync your folders over your network remotely.
