Hey everyone,
I have a PC & Laptop and have my music library folder copied to both of them. Currently, I'm having to manually transfer files from the PC to Laptop. The problem with this is that I sometimes tend to miss any new files added so I was wondering if there is any software that can make this process easier by possibly mirroring the folders (highlighting which files are on A and not
Thanks

Have you ever considered a NAS drive?
I haven't considered a NAS drive but quite interested now you have mentioned it, how would this work?
Otherwise rsync/robocopy.
A bit old, but this article covers the basics.
A NAS drive would centralise your files so any device (PC, laptop, tablet, streamer, etc) that is connected to your home network can access them. There are various options starting from £80 though something several hundred depending on what you want to do with the NAS
As for software to sync between two PC, have a look at puresync
Slow but it works but you do need the Bluetooth aerials of course and have to open every folder which can be a bind if there are too many of them.
Perhaps not suitable if you are a business.
Googledrive?
Or a NAS.
