Have you considered a NAS device on each end that will dynamically sync with its twin? I know that higher end devices will allow this and I suspect that the midrange ones will as well. I would investigate QNAP as their NAS devices all tend to use the same software. Not "cheap" but pretty much just an upfront cost rather than a monthly fee. They run about a grand each empty. If QNAP won't do it, try something like Synctus but I am sure there are many others too.
