[Leica] Drive question.

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram)]

For those using Lightroom, an NAS will not work if you want to use it on 
multiple computers.   Lightroom will not run the catalog from a network 
drive.  I wanted to set a friend up for a backup and so she could use her 
desktop and laptop to access lightroom.  Nada.  I did work on a sort of work 
around, but she is not very computer savvy, so it is a bust for her.

Got it... thanks

We use 2 standalone machines, for 2 people.  Our data is not shared, nor is 
any data nor program of consequence, common to both of us.
Sounds like we are not good candidates for this type of storage.

Usability of shared and common data by every 
computer/laptop/tablet/smartphone in the house through wired as well as WiFi 
connections, while retaining the confidentiality of data in each personal 
machine. After all it is NETWORK Attached Storage Cheers Jayanand
