    Syncing Folders from win7 laptop to win7 desktop..


    I'd like to setup a automated Syncing Folders from win7 laptop to win7 desktop and back based on newer files only via the network.. (shared folders)
    I am studing uni which requires me to take my laptop to classes, but when doing anything too hardcore (video editing mainly) I used the more powerful desktop machine.
    I want it to only sync if the files are newer, but going both ways..

    Is that possible?

    There are hundreds of apps to do that. Microsoft even has one Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - SyncToy 2.1
