So I’ve installed ZorinOS 15.3 on my Desktop and on my Laptop.
Since I’m switching from these two computers frequently, I’d like to know how could I do to have the same Home folder in both of them.
In other words, I’d like to have my Home folder synchronize.
I had the same requirement and ended up using a program called Syncthing to achieve this and also to sync photos from my android camera to my PC. There are a number of tutorials on Youtube and I must admit that it was difficult for me to start using but I am used to it now. I sync certain folders for apps I need to share such as evolution, moneydance, cherrytree, and important document folders. Syncthing has a Browser interface and needs PC laptop and/or android phone to be on the same router. I cant sync the whole Home folder as Syncthing keeps a configuration file as a dot file on each computer’s home folder. With respect to a Browser, I use Brave and its sync ability for bookmarks and history etc.
There is of course a third option - have an external drive and create one big /home folder on it and just have Root and Swap (unless SSD then swap not required) on the machine’s hard drives - that way all your data is in one place and no need to faff with synchronisation - but I could be wrong on that last comment! For a while I did use Obmin, having setup a separate data partition that could be accessed from Windows and Zorin and smartphone. The only downside to Obmin is that it can’t offer https addresses.
Seems they have a server version now! Like I said - been a while:
