Do you mean you want to rsync the folders just once and then actually
share the folder (using CIFS/SAMBA) or do you mean that you want to
run rsync at intervals to share the folder?

I think you can get rsync clones for windows can't you?

I use both rsync and syncthing, both very useful but they do different
jobs really.  Syncthing takes a little while to set up (though it's
far from difficult) but works really well.  One issue with syncthing
is that you have to keep the installed versions in step.
