Network setup for Home users
I don't know if there's much of a way to do this (yet) or not. Your input is appreciated.
I've got 3 computers in my house: mine (a desktop with Win 7 Ultimate), a Win7 laptop and a HP TouchSmart, also on Win7. The last two have Win7 Home Premium.
Basically, I'm trying to get rid of the frustration factor of having to copy files from one computer to the next. I THINK what I want to do, is set up a domain. Also, I would like to set up a NAS on my router probably. What I want to accomplish, is for myself or my mother to login to any one of our computers and be able to see any of our documents from any computer. That is, have the documents be saved on the network.
When my mother goes somewhere with her laptop, I'd like to to have a local copy of her files on the laptop as well. So, I believe I'm looking at some form of syncing files between a network and the local machine.
Is there a way to accomplish this? That is, have Windows 7 login to a domain, have it sync files between the local machine and network storage? Or have it such that it automatically syncs the user's Documents, Music or Videos folder between the two?
I'm JUST wanting to copy files, not applications. I know those don't transfer due to licensing issues on some. I don't know if "Cloud" is the right word for this. Any input would be appreciated, or a link to a tutorial. Thanks.
