 +It should be very easy to synchronize folders, **if you have read all the previous sections of this page**!
 +
 +==== How does it work ? ====
 +
 +Basically, we are just going to use ownCloud, and mirror folders from two (or more) computers to the LSCE
 +//​sharebox//​ server !
 +
 +<WRAP center round box 60%>
 +Local folder on **computer A** <wrap em><​=></​wrap>​ <wrap hi>​**sharebox server**</​wrap>​ <wrap em><​=></​wrap>​ Local folder on **computer B**
 +
 +Example use case:
 +  * **computer A**: computer at work
 +  * **computer B**: computer at home
 +</​WRAP>​
 +
 +A file (or folder) //changed// (created, updated or removed) on **computer A** will:
 +  - be mirrored to the sharebox server
 +  - and then mirrored to **computer B**
 +
 +This will work seamlessly provided you <wrap em>​don'​t change the same file (or folder) at the same time on different computers !!</​wrap>​ This will be easy to do if you:
 +
 +  * save and close files in mirrored folders before moving from one computer to the other (e.g. before going back home, or going to work)
 +  * make sure the computers are online //long enough// to mirror their files to the sharebox server before switching the computers off
 +
