Is there a way to sync files on my two laptops without using the Cloud

I want to have both of my laptops have the same files at all times but the only way I can find to do that is to use the Cloud which I don't want to do for various reasons. Is there another way to do it? I have high speed Internet and a wireless router. I prefer to have my document on one computer, my main one and access that computer from my other one. If that's not feasible, I'm good with having my files on both & have them synched once a week or so. I am on Windows 11 Pro. Thanks in advance

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The only way to sync your file between those two devices is to use a cloud service, there is no other native method to sync the files between the devices, the only other option would be to create a share folder on one PC and put any files in there that you want to access form the other PC.

    Thanks for much for the info. I'm ok with the share folder thing - especially if it means I use one computer as my main computer to hold all my files and the other just to pipe in to the main. Do you know how to do this?
