I work for clients both in my shop and on-site. When I'm on-site, I use my laptop running Linux Mint to write up paperwork and take project notes. In my shop, I do the same with my desktop that runs Debian/Trixie. However, keeping these two systems synced can be quite a hassle. I thought about using Google Drive, but I've heard they don't support Linux very well. I'm not sure about any good alternatives either. What would be the best system or program to help me sync my files more easily?

If you need to sync over the internet and your corporate firewall permits it, try using rclone. It’s versatile and supports various cloud providers, including Google Drive. Just make sure to use an encrypted USB drive for local transfers if needed.
There are plenty of options like Syncthing for file syncing in the open-source world. It's pretty straightforward and doesn’t require much setup.
One effective approach is to share a home directory between both machines. You can set this up through a NAS or even locally. Alternatively, using SSH and rsync can help you keep files synced easily.
Have you considered using NextCloud? It’s a great solution for syncing files across devices! While it might seem a bit enterprise-focused, it really works well for personal projects too.
