Ideas to keep a Macbook folder and a Windows 8 desktop folder in sync

[Sid-R]

I have a Windows 8 desktop and a mac air. I want to have free (non cloud) utility to keep one folder in sync between the two.
And my main purpose is for sync movie/tv show downloads.

I am trying currently with a windows folder mounted on mac.. will update more on ow that works out.
Mean while if any of you have a cleaner free solution.

What about a network HDD (1 TB or 2 TB) or even a NAS you connect to your router via Gigabit Ethernet and use that?

My first thought went to rsync but that's not really good for bidirectional sync.

How about this one: Unison http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html.
I didn't tried but seems a fit ?

Thanks but I dont want to put any money into this solution. My Win 8 desktop is connected to my TV to watch stuff on it but I download a lot of stuff on my mac. so would be great if they synced

Tried Many of the soft wares available but not of them does an auto sync.. they all need to used manually

You can do it through a shareware program (for Windows is MacDrive) and then use iTunes to move your iTunes Library to an external drive.
