 ===== Synchronizing folders on different computers =====
+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
