Windows Server - Storage system help
Hey guys,

Okay so basically this is my scenario:

I am currently opening a new office in the city because currently i work from home. I have a computer at home and will have one at the office. I will be updating work files from both places but i want these to be in sync and so i can access them over a network. I was thinking off setting up a network storage server at home so all the files i work with are just read and write off that so they are all in sync and i can access them from both places.

This is what i want:
I want to be able to just go to my computer on both computers and see the drive so i can access the files. So like if i add a file to the drive on one computer i can see it on the other instantly.

My Question:
How would i do this in windows server 2012? or is there a better option?

Please help haha

Enable VPN (PPTP) on your office server, subscribe to some free Dynamic DNS servvice, and VPN from your home into your office. This way, you will work same way as if connected from within the office.
