I have a folder that MUST be in the folder it's in. I want to sync it between two computers in my house, both running Win8. If anyone remembers Windows Live Mesh, I want a program that does something like that. It's basically skydrive, but doesn't have to be in your %appdata%/skydrive folder to sync stuff. Skydrive also syncs over the internet, which is another problem.
This can be using something that syncs over a network, as they'll both be on the same network.
Homegroup works, but I can't find out how to sync folders other than pictures, documents, etc... Google searches came up useless.
Currently I'm using SugarSync, which works fine, but it goes over the internet. It's basically dropbox but lets you chose folders other than your %appdata%/dropbox folder.
Huh... Well, I tried making a homegroup, and apparently, one's already set up, on a computer that I recently formatted. It's also password protected, so therefore homegroup won't work, unless I can either delete the homegroup or change the password. If you know how to do either could you let me know? – Jon – 2013-02-20T02:56:20.680
1Best thing to try (on both computers) is to leave the homegroup. Control panel --> Homegroup ---> leave the homegroup. Do this on both PC's. Reboot. On one of the PC's go back to control panel ---> Homegroup and create a new homegroup. Reboot both (just being cautious) . On the 2nd PC go back to control panel ---> homegroup and try and join the one you've just created on the other PC. Fingers crossed it should work then you can add the folder you need after. – popcornuk – 2013-02-20T02:57:30.977
Did you have any luck fixing your problem with the above advice? – popcornuk – 2013-02-22T00:13:07.790
No, I'm still looking into how to do it. However, because your answer will most likely work for others with my issue I accepted it. – Jon – 2013-02-24T22:52:54.647
