Hi there,
I am wanting to create a space where my family can store and share things such as photos, documents etc.
What I would like to do is have an external hard drive that can be accessed by anyone's PC or laptop.
How would I do this? I am new to networking, but was thinking if I could plug the hard drive into something wit ha USB port (strange example, but a TV) or another laptop - would that work? If so, would that device with the hard drive in have to be powered on all the time for users to access it?
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
