I have a netbook running XP, a laptop with Vista and a desktop with Windows 7. I have documents that I work on at different times on all three, though I’m using the desktop less and less recently. What I’m doing right now is sending the updated documents manually over my home network when I want to use a different machine. The netbook is only good for writing with out and about really, so I generally don’t use it at home. The laptop gets most use, so it’s mostly transferring stuff from Vista to XP and vice versa, though it was a bit of a headache to get them to like each other at first it’s working fine now.
What I’m basically wondering is, is there a program or perhaps something I can do to Windows itself that will automatically update these files via the network? Ideally I just want to be able to turn my netbook on, let it connect to the network and automatically have the documents I have been working on on the laptop transfer to the netbook.
I really don’t want to pay anything for this convenience, since it’s easy enough to transfer them myself, it’s just one of those things that I figured would be pretty neat if it could be set up.
