I have a very dumb question...but what's the use of
the "My Breifcase?" What's the difference between that
and "My documents?"

The briefcase can't sync the same file to two locations.

want to work on at home, and then synchronize the files in the morning on
work computer.

Thanks for the response.
That's what I figured :-(
Actually I'm working on a vb backup program to do the backup the way I want,
ie, identical folders and files at home and work, using usb to transport two
ways.
It works but i currently have to select which folders I want to sync so if
there's 3 or four i have to repeat my process that many times. It's also
needing a bit of tweaking to get the speed to a more acceptable blinding
fast operation!
I'm now working on a version to read all folders on c:\0 (main working
folder with many subfolders) and then read all folders on z:\xxx (usb
portable with variable folders saved that day - which ever ones i wanted to
transport since i don't need to transport files i haven't worked on)
the trick is finding all matching folder names with varying 'prefixes'
eg:
if I have c:\code\vb, c:\code\lisp, c:\code\lisp\std etc
and also z:\backup\work\03-11-18\code\vb, z:\backup\work\03-11-18\code\lisp,
z:\backup\work\03-11-18\code\lisp\std,
i need to search and find matched pairs
eg: pair 1:
c:\code\vb
z:\backup\work\03-11-18\code\vb
etc
then I can check file dates within each folder and copy only newer dates
from source or compare folders - which ever is most recent.
actually the briefcase seems to be even slower than my vb prog at comparing
the files since i guess it's creating a whole database of info to do the
syncing, and since it's only a one way street, eg one folder one briefcase,
it doesn't really do exactly what I was aiming at.
Thanks for confirming that I wasn't just missing something about how to use
it.
back to the coding board!
