Windows 8.1 on both computers

When you have two computers in the same Homegroup, with both computers
having a folder of the same name and content, does the Homegroup
function synchronize these folders when both computer are on?

No

What if you are using the Windows Backup utility to back up one computer
of the Homegroup to an external disk?


Do you happen to have skydrive or dropbox installed on the machines?

You can also review this:

I believe Windows 8.1 comes with One drive, but I have not activated it.

It looks like I need to dig deeper into both computers to understand
what is going on.

The homegroup was the only thing I could think of that was doing the
sync, but from what has been said that is not what is doing it.
