Method for transferring game files between devices on the same network
Method for transferring game files between devices on the same network
I am managing a gaming Cafe with 10 PCs. There are over 15 Steam games with updates every other day. Due to limited bandwidth in our country, copying entire game folders to all devices is very time-consuming. Is there any solution or software that can automatically sync all game files across the same network?
I would handle the mirroring function with great caution because it could erase the valuable data area while leaving the unused side intact.
Given your lack of experience with Robo copy, I wouldn't recommend this at all—it was a poor suggestion from the start.
The Total Commander includes a directories synchronizer by design.

If this is Windows, you might also develop a batch script that executes robocopy with these settings:
/MIR - copies directory contents
/Z - enables automatic restart after errors
/w:5 - defines the retry interval of 5 seconds
You can then execute it manually or schedule it using Task Scheduler.

Consider using a single system that might be older, allowing you to share a folder across your network with all its files. Set up a workgroup and ensure every PC is included in the group. This way, you can access the shared folder from any device as needed.
