Oh yeah, I think I used that before. Will do the job.
In reply to my first post - I managed to share the docs folder of the Laptop, turns out all I needed to do was add 'Everyone' to the 'shared with' user.
That doesn't sound that secure though. Considering I am on the same windows account on all 3 machines you would have thought it would be easy to just share with users logged in under that account....
My work desktop is sometimes connected to the company network via VPN, so does that mean all my workmates will be able to see the contents of my laptop, or does file sharing not cross over networks like that?

I have not tried this, but have been curious before: https://remotedesktop.google.com/
Chrome is basically a mini-OS nowadays, because it forms such a core part of Chromebook... and so they have a remote desktop capability via an extension, that is what that is. Chrome is both the server and the client.
Why haven't I used it? Because I have multiple machines, but I only need to remote into one of them and that is the one that is Windows Pro and has the server, and the RDP client is free on the non-Pro Windows, so it turned out I had everything I needed.
