I'm total newbie about Ubuntu. Some time ago I have installed Xubuntu 14.04 LTS distribution of Ubuntu. At my university I have seen Linux configured with Windows so that they use the same of desktop. I would like to configure ubuntu to use the same desktop with windows. I don't mean to use remote desktop or change appearance of desktop. I mean exactly the same desktop in a sense of files and shortcuts. When I edit a text file in windows this affects on the same file in ubuntu desktop. Similarly I want the /home folder synchronized with "my documents" folder in windows. I know it's possible because computers at my university are synchronized that how I said.
I have read something about Ubuntu-one but I got lost in the amount of information and do not really know what it is and how it would help me.
I have searched entire internet for answer but all i found it's tutorial to set the systems with remote desktop.
I would be grateful for any help
