Sync files to anther folder

[Dolby]

On my previous laptop, I used to save my office files on my local machine ... Until it was stolen and I lost most of it

So now I save to the office network drive BUT our VPN is unreliable, slow and a pain to use. I therefore save a copy to both the network AND local machine.

But is there somehow I could automatically do this? Like anything in my local folder synced to my network folder?

That way I could only work and save to local, but I still have my backup

Free File Sync?

I have it scheduled as a task on my machine to sync nuget packages from a network store to my machine so that I have access to them when I'm not on the network. Should work for you.

The higher ranges of Windows have offline file sync built in e.g. Windows 7 Professional.

Works continuously and everytime you change something even when you're not on the network it looks for the latest version and keeps/syncs that when you reconnect. Only catch is that you must be the sole user of the network share.

I've never had that offline file sync work properly for me nd just give up on it.

Windows Scheduled task that kicks off a robocopy task.

Robocopy spawns WMI/Powershell script to determine local or remote target.

If target local then robocopy without /IPG switch
If remote target then ciopy with /IPG Switch

Just install Onedrive and forget the VPN.

I use this. Not the easiest interface but it works well. Supports a lot of means of storage be it local or network drives, ftp, various cloud storage etc. There is a free version.
