Hello, I'm looking for a way to sync my visual studio projects between home PC and laptop. PC runs Windows 8.1(soon will be installed Windows 10), the laptop uses Windows 10. My idea is when I make changes to my exists project on the PC those changes to be applied and on the laptop when it's been turned on. Also when something on the laptop is changed, it's to affect on the PC.
My plan is to connect the laptop to my router(tenda w316r) and create homegroup with built-in windows option. It this will be enough to do the job for me? I'm a little bit worried that the router can't handle with both devices. Thanks in advance

Share a folder on your desktop for your projects. On the laptop, map that folder, and make it available offline. This way, when your laptop "sees" your desktop, changes will be synchronized between them.

Of course, you will have to make sure that you don't make changes on both places while disconnected.

Please keep in mind that Microsoft plans to remove "Homegroup" in future versions of Windows. The easiest way to share files between your computers is to use same username / password on both of them.

Another option is to keep your project files on shared online storage. OneDrive is quite good at that.
