i push an extra copy into dropbox ( into the local dropbox folder, using FFS to do it) so I don't need shared folders, but they will work
for FFS across 2 PCs it just needs read access to the remote PC, it prefers write access in order to place a temp lock on files it is copying but it will work without if you insist.
static IPs are a pain but with my Virgin Media hub I can set reserved IP address which do much the same. The PCs LAN address never changes , even if router is rebooted, & cant be reassigned because it is reserved.
in fact the Virgin Hub doesn't change the DHCP values either - it seems to renew whatever the device is using for another 7 days, as needed. and if a new device is added it assigns some never before used value - it would have to use up all 255 before it started re-allocating I think
