I use three computers: home desktop, work desktop, and travel laptop. I use OneDrive religiously and store everything in it - works like a charm for keeping files synced across all machines, but still spend significant time replicating Windows settings changes, FileZilla saved passwords, open tabs in notepad++, etc.
One solution would obviously be to make one computer the master and do most of my work by remoting into it... but that introduces clunkiness when I log in from my laptop with one screen vs my home machine with 3 screens, RDP client gets annoying when I'm managing Windows, and RDP is clunky whenever the internet's clunky at coffee shops and such.
Also Teamviewer is a bit pricey at 750/yr - this is for biz so I couldn't use the free version (and no, I'm not just gonna violate the license agreement - I appreciate that TV is on the honor system and don't want to screw them for it).
RDP would require me to set up a VPN which I could probably figure out but don't wanna deal with the hassle - this is supposed to save time, not eat it.
Ideally all three machines would just stay completely synced for everything except device drivers and such. Is there an app or something for this?
All three machines are on Win10 Pro if it matters.
