Hello,
every time the sync job runs, Syncovery will compare the folders and copy the files as needed.
You can either run the sync jobs manually or via scheduler.
The scheduler can run jobs at regular intervals and/or use real-time synchronization, which relies on file system events generated by Windows. These events are also available via LAN, so the laptop will send notifications to the desktop and Syncovery will know which folders need to be synced.
The Remote Service can help if building the file list takes too long for full syncs (not in real time mode). You would only be using its Remote Listing feature, most likely not any of the other features.
You also need to consider what should happen when you delete a file. You probably need the SmartTracking mode to handle deleted files. Click the Configure button to determine what Syncovery should do.
