Use a drive connected to the network as synchronization data storage. ![]() Synchronization with a removable driveThis slow but undemanding method requires a USB drive pen or external disk. The syncing process divides into two phases; firstly, one of computers synchronizes with a drive as "first folder", and then another computer syncs as "second". ![]() Synchronization through FTPAnother method of local or global network data synchronization is an implementation of syncing through some FTP server, accessible by both computers. It is sometimes a best way to synchronize files between servers. ![]() ![]() Syncing via cloudsThis is the most advanced and modern method of data synchronization. An account on some popular commercial cloud, like Windows Azure, Google Drive or Dropbox, is used as a storage for syncing. Any of these methods can give you some advantage in a particular case.
