I have a folder that MUST be in the folder it's in. I want to sync it between two computers in my house, both running Win8. If anyone remembers Windows Live Mesh, I want a program that does something like that. It's basically skydrive, but doesn't have to be in your %appdata%/skydrive folder to sync stuff. Skydrive also syncs over the internet, which is another problem.
This can be using something that syncs over a network, as they'll both be on the same network.
Homegroup works, but I can't find out how to sync folders other than pictures, documents, etc… Google searches came up useless.
Currently I'm using SugarSync, which works fine, but it goes over the internet. It's basically dropbox but lets you chose folders other than your %appdata%/dropbox folder.

If homegroup works. You can try adding the folder you need synced up to one of your libraries that homegroup uses (documents/music/pictures etc)
On win 8 open any folder to get the explorer tab at the left hand side. Click on Libraries, then right click a category (Docs/Music etc). Click properties. From the menu that comes up you can add a new folder to the homegroup. Hope this helps.
