Can Steam sync Skyrim saves between PCs?

I play Skyrim on my PC and my desktop, but unlike other games, the save games don't sync between shared computers. Is there way to get Steam to automatically sync my game saves? Or would it just be easier to set this up in dropbox with some symbolic links? I use Windows 7 HP 64 bit on both my PCs, and I have the Skyrim disk.

Update:

And yes, this is actually a Skyrim question that's not about asking if it can run on my laptop.

    Steam doesn't sync Skyrim saves. Much too big. But here's a nifty solution I made:

    Check out the 3rd post.

    FYI: In order to make a batch file, just copy the "code" listed on the thread to notebook, edit it to fit your computer and save as "SKYRIMSAVES.BAT"

    Hope that helps. :)

    No. Steam doesn't sync all games. Skyrim has large save game files. You'll have to copy the saved data yourself, and then send it to yourself and reinsert it into the Skyrim folder on the PC you want to continue on. This is something they are moving towards, but it is quite a bit more overhead for Steam, so I don't know when we're going to see it implemented on games like this.
