Homegroup question
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? I have two computers that I keep synchronized with Syncback Free. I have been trying to clean up some Folders by deleting some files and placing other files into other Folders. Lately it seems like some of the files I delete are coming back even though I have not run Syncback Free between the time I made the changes and the time I noticed that files were back. |

No What if you are using the Windows Backup utility to back up one computer of the Homegroup to an external disk? |

You can also review this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...mation-in-sync 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. Thank |
