How do I sync two local folders in windows 10? i.e. changes in one folder are automatically copied to the other

For specific reasons I need two folders in different locations to be the same.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Microsoft Store

    Hi. I'm Brian, an Independent Advisor.

    I used a batch job containing a command line that ran robocopy, a built in command line tool. Here's Microsoft's documentation for the command: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server....

    Here's a blog that describes how to automate using robocopy with Task Scheduler: https://www.sikich.com/insight/how-to-automate-...

    Note that the web site I referenced isn't a Microsoft web site but it appears to contain accurate information and no potentially unwanted apps. It may, however, contain ads and use cookies, so be aware.
