Ask HN: How to sync virtual machine (virtualbox) image accross two computers

2 pointsbedros3 comments

If I have a virtualbox image on my desktop, and I want to travel and take my laptop with me, how can I sync the virtualbox image from desktop to laptop

I'm not looking to copy VMs, I want to sync them. work on one computer, then continue my work on another. I copied VMs between computers countless times

I often thought this would be handy when I was using vagrant, it would be nice to sync VMs without doing a whole rebuild.
