I think this can be done but, I wanted to confirm with someone who knows, so I turn to the expert panel that exists here.
DW likes her pictures and she likes her laptop. However, she has such a volume of pictures, I want her to use a desktop in her office with large data drives and a raid set up for protection. She’s on board with this, but she does like working on her laptop in the living room. So, my question is, can I get a desktop with large data drives and then allow DW to access her pictures (full read, write, edit) from the laptop. I assume this would be pretty straight forward and that I could just somehow set up the laptop to view the desktop as a network drive over our WiFi.
Am I on track? Does it take specific hardware or software? Or, would this all be part of Windows functionality?
Thanks.
