Hello!
There is a task to organize the exchange of files through a folder between several computers based on Windows 7, over the Internet. So that you can download data from a remote computer, as in a network folder.
What are the ways to organize it?

Dropbox and Yandex Disk are not suitable due to incompatibility with the program. Ftp server is also not suitable.
Do not tell me how to set up a network folder via VPN?

Clarify the question, which folders, how should they be synchronized? Why is dropbox and similar services not suitable?

SFTP is here to help. Another option is BitTorrentSync, if you don't want SFTP, but want P2P

If you don’t want to fool around with clouds like Google, then if you have an ownCloud server, without Syncthing.

If you really pervert at all, you can forward the ports and connect the shared folder as a network drive to any computer. When there was a similar task, I found the software, I honestly forgot what it's called, if I'm interested, I'll look, in general, it can connect ftp, etc. like a local drive. However, from some version it became paid :(
However, I have a free distro lying around somewhere and even works!

You can try Hamachi. It will allow you to combine computers into one local network via the Internet.
