Hello,
First, I hope this is in the right category, if not please let me know so I can move it!
I'm looking for a way to set up a folder that can be shared between two PCs over the internet. Importantly, these computers are owned by different people (myself and a friend), but I'm happy to set up a new account on some service that might be able to do it where we can share a password.
The essential part of this folder is it needs to be able to sync all changes to both computers, and files are stored locally on both computers (actually downloaded, instead of just linking the cloud). We're trying to play a game with online content where both players need the same content, so we want a way to easily keep each other in sync without having to constantly give each other lists or .zip files. It's currently at about 8gb of data, but more is certainly welcome. The data isn't sensitive at all, and I trust my friend enough to not upload random viruses to my machine.
I've tried Google Drive but it seems you cant sync folders shared by other people. OneDrive's free account is limited to 5gb too so not that useful.
I do have access to a Ubuntu server with about 1tb free space, so also open to options that would let me share a folder from there if such a thing exists?
Thanks!
