How does one keep multiple computers sync?
techidave:
Since I work in multiple locations on a daily basis with each location having its own desktop computer. I also have a home desktop and laptop plus a work laptop. I like to have the same programs, (FARR and some other AHK stuff), firefox extensions plus any other downloads I deem important.
Its driving me crazy :wallbash:
The easiest answer I fear would be to reduce the number of computers but I do like not lugging the laptop plus the desktops are more customizable as far as hardware goes. I do have the capabilities to switch my work laptop to one that uses a docking station and put the dock in each building. This would also allow me to have 2 monitors in all 3 places instead of just one.
Hmmmm, did I just answer my own question? :-[
P.S. I thought I posted this a few minutes ago but could never find any sign of a post.

I remember reading an article on something called Briefcase which is part of windows hidden somewhere. Basically it syncs all listed files to a portable drive, then resyncs then to the next computer you plug it into.
Sounds like what you want IF you can fit it all on a flash drive
tomos:
havent read this (dc) thread lately but it *is* recent and may help you
Do you keep two computers synchronized? i.e. work + home. If so, how?
techidave:
not sure how I missed that thread tomos. I did search the forum here but probably didn't use the right words. It has lots of links to check out.
Fred, i had forgotten about briefcase. Thanks for the reminder but I am not sure it will apply here.
