FYI, for modern games, similar functionality is built into Steam: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.steampowered.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;faqs&#x2F;view&#x2F;46BD-6BA8-B012-CE43" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.steampowered.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;faqs&#x2F;view&#x2F;46BD-6BA8-B012-CE...</a>

Interesting approach. For my LAN bachelor party I just used Dropbox. But I was into retro games at the time, so downloading wasn&#x27;t the issue. Our trouble was getting everyone the same games and all the fiddly settings needed. Dropbox sync (and pause!) was a decent way to help make on the fly tweaks.<p>Of course modern games don&#x27;t run as portably. Spewing configs everywhere.<p>Most recently for a work social I resorted to a Google Drive share and bash scripts to get everything aligned. Still, played old games though; Doom and some crazy mods over Zandorum.
