Hi,

I have a pc with 3mbps connection and my friend has with 1mbps connection. We run a youtube channel. I want to keep data in his pc and access it quickly. How can I do that. We don't live together so I can't use his hard drive physically. Is there a way to keep data in his pc and access it like it's in my pc? We live in same country in same city. 9km distance between if that helps. Thank you :)

Sadly that would probably be the fastest way.

However the next best thing and probably the easiest would be to work together through dropbox.

As others already pointed out those internet speeds are horrible so don't expect the file transfer to be fast but you can try to use something like Syncthing. Alternatively any SVN could work too but it would be harder to set up... At least I still hadn't gotten around to setting up a SVN server yet (only used the client so far) while I basically became dependent on Syncthing. Additionally you could always try using a VPN and connecting to your friend's network but personally I'd prefer using Syncthing.

I want to keep my files in his computer and access it later. Dropbox is for sharing files right?
