Ok, so I bought this deal to put my external drives on my home network. It works pretty good. I can put my movies and music on it to share and I plan on making dual backups of my pictures/music and my documents folder.
What I would like is a free app that automatically updates the folders on my network drives with certain folders on my and my wife's computers either once a week or whatever I choose. I don't want to have to manually copy and paste folders.
Anything out there that works good that you can recommend?

Thanks

Looks like exactly what I need, but it says:

Important NAS and SyncToy 2.0 Information
Please note that there are known issues when using SyncToy 2.0 with a Home NAS. When using a NAS, there is a chance of file corruption. This issue will be fixed in an upcoming release. Unfortunately there are no known workarounds for this issue with SyncToy 2.0.


Won't that possibly cause problems with my setup?

It's basically just an external HD that is plugged into my router which makes it available to everyone on the network.
