I just downloaded FreeFileSync and can easily see how to sync two files on the same PC. Can anyone help me sync my laptops and my desktops?
Blessed New Year to all!

Do you have shares set up between the laptops & desktops?
Can you copy files between them with Windows Explorer?

Thanks for your help.
No; I cannot copy or even access files on the other PCs.
To keep it simple I am first trying to sync the two laptops. One is Win 10 and the other is Win 11. Once I get the hang of it I'll add the desktops, one by one.
1. I mapped the drives on the network. I can now see the other PC on the network.
2. I have turned ON and OFF public file sharing. It says I have no permission to access files.
3. I have turned ON and OFF password protection. No permission to access files.
Help me Obie Wan Kenobie! You're my only hope!
Thanks, Gary
