Hello, I recently discovered a method for sharing folders or files across devices, which helped me sync my laptop with my PC. It had some issues, like missing entries and needing the PC to be active. I was wondering if it's possible to share a folder directly with someone on another computer in a different city. Could you also access the folder even when the main PC is offline? Or are these aspects interconnected? In Minecraft, you can set up a LAN network and use tools like ngrok to share it online. If the host machine goes offline, would it still be feasible to play or access the shared world? I understand servers exist, but I'm curious about bypassing setup steps such as server configuration and IP forwarding. This is quite complex—I appreciate your help and your time. Have a great day!

Yes, such as using a VPN number. The machine storing the files needs to be active. You might try OwnCloud that links two folders (one on each device), allowing independent work and automatic sync once both devices are online again. This might cause conflicts if the same file was changed on both before syncing. Then it wouldn't work. The server must be online for clients to connect. You could sync it, but you'd face the same conflict problem when both machines now have different versions of the same environment.
