+ | 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 | ||
+ | |||
