[SOLVED] Syncing workspace/OS between desktop, laptop and smartphone

Like most people, i own a desktop PC at home, a laptop for mobile working and of course a smartphone.

I have a problem though, because i do mostly the same work/leisure activities on all devices I require the same software and files, but it can be tiresome and tedious ensuring all my devices are up to date, have the same file versions, all the same settings and software ... blah blah blah

Now i know cloud storage is a exists but uploading and download files is tedious and it doesn't provide a solution to software and settings issue.

What i'm asking is - Does anyone know of a service/product or a way i can create a virtual desktop space (hopefully windows) that is continuous and synced between devices - while still allowing exceptions such as having PC games downloaded locally to the desktop.

(And hopefully something for android phones too)

If your laptop and desktop are Windows 10 - you can store your documents on OneDrive, and have them accessible everywhere. Of course, this does not work for multi-gigabyte ripped movies.

On Windows 10, you can also sync activities in "Task View", so you'll always know what file you worked.

You can also install OneDrive client on your Android phone, but then you also must install applications to work with these files.
