This ancient question may be answered in a more simple manner:
- Designate one machine as a "server" and set up NFS upon it.
- Or use SyncThing, so there is no centralised server.
With SyncThing, the directories and files you define are automatically synchronised to ALL OTHER machines. It can be as real-time as you define.
The first option is certainly easy. If one is a noobie, use WebMin on the "server" and it has a helpful browser-based GUI to set it up.
NFS is a nice, simple protocol to set up remote shares locally. They can be mapped anywhere and look just as if they exist on the machine you are using.
SyncThing offers the resilience of having a pseudo-replication solution. If one If one machine should catch fire, itsit's not such a trauma. It also It also offers "versions" so if another machine should change a file file, the old the old file is kept kept. There are There are options to restrict this (n-versions, n-days/months, etc)

Apologies to resurrect this from the grave. It is beginning to be asked more on places like Reddit as more people adopt Linux :) :)
