Connecting two laptops: Cloud storage or something else?

Hey everyone—so, I’m rocking two laptops right now. One’s a little lightweight thing I carry around for college classes, and the other is basically acting as my desktop since it just sits there on my desk. Between school and my job in tourism—which involves a mountain of Office docs, photos, videos, you name it—I really need a way to link these two up. I need my files accessible on both machines without having to play the "USB stick shuffle" every five minutes.

What’s the best way to pull this off? Speed is cool, and reliability is a must, but honestly, I just want something dead simple that won't give me a headache.

We're talking files up to about 500 MB; anything bigger than that, I'll just move manually.
Most of the heavy lifting—editing photos, video work, all that—will be happening on my home laptop.

thanks

Since we're dealing with massive files, I doubt a cloud service is actually going to cut it. You could try throwing them onto Google Drive, if you really want to struggle.

Another option is just staying on your local network—use a shared folder over a hardwired connection, if possible.
You might save yourself some headaches by using a sync program to handle delta copies, so you aren't moving the whole damn file every time. I'd suggest Dropbox.
