I want to enable file sharing between my laptop and desktop, both running some form of ubuntu. I rarely have them both on at the same time, but I save random images to both. And I don't wanna be limited by my image choice just because I'm using one or the other. They're both connected wirelessly to my family's Internet router, but I believe I can easily connect them with an ethernet cable if I want to. My plan right now is, every so often, turn them both on at the same time and update my image folders so they're the same.
Should I connect them via ethernet or wirelessly, or is there a better method I can try out?

If i understand you right you just want to sync two folders from different computers
You should just be able to connect them with an Ethernet cable (crossover or a patch cable) if you want fast speeds, as long as they're relatively new machines and the Ubuntu install isn't from 2011 then it should just work out of the box. You could easily enable network sharing and sync those folders if you wanted to use WiFi.
Use rsync with the archive option to sync the folders without needing to copy all the images over, only the unsynced images

They aren't new and it might be from 2011? (Desktop is 12.04 LTS and Laptop is 16.04)
I'm starting to thik Wi-Fi is my best chance atm.
