syncing folders in osx

[odej98]

I am a student that has a lot of papers to write. It would be awesome if I could save a document to my documents stack, and then have a script or anything automated that would sync the folder (once a week maybe?) to my windows pc/file server in the basement. This should be an easy task but I am not sure where to begin.
Any ideas?

Get DropBox.

Is it possible to make a shared folder on your network machine then have your Mac map that volume upon startup? I'm doing that with a NAS drive for documents I want to retrieve from any computer and it works okay.

dropbox looks like it is a suitable alternative however I can't imagine adding another service that I must sign up and register for. Also keeping them online is not necessary.

Mapping the drives and saving directly to the server seems like the best option.

With networked machines, yeah setting up file sharing would be easiest.

Drop Box is highly useful when attempting the same feature with machines in different areas (without much of a hassle).
