# Description

To use local files that are continuously synchronized over a network with several

computers and that almost in real time -- so the goal. 

Micro-File-Exchange is a small service for Windows that does this. Local

directories are declared as workspaces, to which directories on network drives

are assigned as repositories. Or more simply, directory pairs are defined, which

are then continuously synchronized recursively.

Locally, a synchronized copy of the data from the repository is always used.

Therefore, it is not a problem if the repository is not available. Then the

synchronization pauses and resumes when the repository is available again.   

Managing changes and versions is a very complex issue, which was solved very

simply. Like in the local file system -- who writes last wins. There is no

merging and there are no locks.

## Use case and limits

Transferring data takes time and bandwidth.  

Planned is the in the background active service for small amounts of data --

like notes, bookmarks, certificates, ...

Everything you miss locally when a network solution is not available.
