You can change the location of the Documents, Photos, e.t.c. directories on Windows 7 and above to somewhere different like a network share by right clicking on the folder and choosing a different location. You can then set the files to be available offline, much like you described in your first sentence of the question. I *think* that you have to make a change in the registry to do the same for your desktop, I can't remember if it's done in the same way as the other folders. | |

We use synctoy at work for data and docs from the server to remote workers. Never had any problems in the 4 years or so we have been. | |

Robocopy would do it but there's a thing I use for copying files about called Syncovery. It's not free though. | |

I know it sounds really bloody easy, and on a domain you'd just use redirected folders and offline files but this is doing my head in on two standalone computers. |
