Completing the Share Step 1: Review the information you've provided in the Share via the Local Network window. Step 2: Click Share to complete the folder share. Synchronizing Folders Once someone connected to your Personal Server has shared a folder with you, the Synchronize feature allows you to keep a synchronized copy of the folder on your own computer. Synchronizing a folder establishes a link between the copy on your computer and the copy stored on the Personal Server. If this folder has been shared with other computers connected to your Personal Server and they have also established a link to it, all copies are kept synchronized through the Personal Server. This allows people to work on the same folder, each on his or her own computer. For example, suppose that Computers 1, 2, and 3 are all synchronized to Folder A on a Personal Server. Changes made on Computer 1 to a file in that folder are automatically reflected in the copy of that file on the Personal Server and then, in turn, in the copy on Computers 2 and 3.
