Bi-Directional Sync in WIndows 7I would like to set up my photos so that my desktop and laptop are kept in sync. I have both on a homegroup. I set the laptop to 'always available' with regards to the desktop, but that will just make that one file match one way from my desktop for a folder under the homegroup heading. It doesn't point to the local photos folder in the local pictures folder as I would like it to, and as far as I understand it the desktop will always have precedence over anything I do on the laptop, which kinda defeats my purpose.<br/> <br/> Is there some way to set a designated folder such that the systems will maintain a two way link, with the more recent of the two holding precedence. I don't want to be unable to delete anything because the sync will bring it back from the other system. This would be very useful for me since I may be downloading and editing photos on either system, and having to keep manually going back and forth via the homegroup is very inconvenient.© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
