I'd like to be able to sync the My Documents folder on my laptop with the My
Documents folder on my desktop. I can transfer files over my home network
(wired & wireless), but if I use a briefcase and copy files to it over the
network, it lists the files as orphans and doesn't sync properly.

I'm wondering:
(1) Can I make the My Documents folder itself a Briefcase?

and

(2) If so, how can I ensure the files aren't orphaned?

Thanks,
Joe
