Options for multiple pc and share on unraid.

[Silver_30]

I'm sorry I know this is probably simple but I'm just learning.  Like the title says I need to automatically sync two pcs with a share on my unraid server.  I play farming sim 19 and it's a pain to download mods to my main pc then move them to the server then copy from the server to the second pc.  Or if anyone has a different option that I would help I want to learn.  I googled but didn't really understand how to do some (most) of the stuff I found. 

 

If I have left anything out that might help come up with a solution please ask and I will do my best to answer. 

 

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

This may not help because I am not 100% sure of what you need, but I use Resilio Sync for some of the plugins I need on multiple computers.  With that you can set up a single share between the 2 computers, skipping Unraid.  I think if you use the free version it doesn't allow selective sync options, which means the master folder will be copied in its entirety to the other computer, but this might work for you.  I just have a plugins folder on my desktop that is synced on all my gaming pc's, that way any mod is just drag and drop from the folder in to the games directory.  

 

There are other methods as well if this isn't what you are looking for, this one is just really simple to implement.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks Alex for the help.  Sorry for the slow response it's been a crazy weekend.   I will look into it it sounds like it would work.  I was gonna use the server a "central" place to have them incase.  Your way sounds easier.  Now I just have to figure out how to make it work.  

 

Thanks again for the help.
