I have three computers at home that are all running different operating systems – Windows XP, Vista and 7. I mainly work on the Windows 7 machine, but on the weekends and some other miscellaneous times I need to work on the other computers. A few months ago I copied everything from the Windows 7 machine to the other two computers. Sometimes I will make small edits here and there to specific files while using the various computers, but then forget to copy the updated files to the other computers. Keeping abreast of the changes and ensuring that each computer is on the same page is proving to be more than I can handle. I am sure there is a simple solution to my problem, but I am not sure what hardware options are available. I was doing some research online and came across NAS servers. Any advice on how best to handle my situation would be greatly appreciated. I believe it pertinent to state that I currently reside in China and therefore any solutions that you proffer hopefully do not require me to connect to international websites as the constant availability and reliability of those websites cannot be guaranteed from my location. Thanks!
In summary; I have three computers which I regularly use. The computers run Windows XP, Vista and 7. Need to have some kind of system where I can easily access the same files from the various computers, and where file edits while working on one computer will immediately be reflected on the others. Cannot rely on international websites as website restriction is a routine fact of life where I live.
Thanks again!
I’m not a very technology-savvy person (at least not compared to the members of this community), so if more information is required I’ll be happy to provide it.
