    Possible to sync folders between desktop and laptop over local Wifi?


    Hi,

    I have a desktop, and a laptop, that I'd like to sync my movie, music and picture folders between (and maybe a few other folders as well if it works as expected).

    The desktop has Windows 7 Home Premium and the laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate installed.

    Both computers are connected to my home network via Wifi using a Cisco E2500 router.

    I do have both Dropbox and Skydrive, however these services has a storage restriction. Also, I'm not interested to upload these folders to internet when they are just supposed to be synced between the two mentioned computers.

    Is this at all possible?

    Try the free SyncToy - its very simple to use.
