i want thread title says. way can access same user files whichever mac happen using @ time.
have several macs in different parts of house. have each 1 run same app (easy) accessing same data files (not easy).
apps include office2011 (with outlook). have use os x lion server ? when used win7 did use mapped folders (easy). how do in os x ?
thanks.
there several options this. can drag contents of documents folder folder shared nas. can mount folder on each machine , working nas copy of file on each machine. make sure @ save dialogs because many apps insist on saving documents folder on machine sitting.
there way make "look like" nas folder local using sym links have make brief trip terminal.
nas shared folder called "docs"...
1) mount nas shared folder shows on desktop.
2) in terminal following...
code:
cd ~/documents ln -s docs /volumes/docs
this creates sym link in documents folder. "~" unix shortcut home folder. have found if log off , on, network drives "come themselves" if notice folder isn't mounted (it should show on desktop), go ahead , browse in finder , double click , show , sym link work. sym link special unix file pointer file. if file points missing, things can little weird if files expecting there aren't showing up, glance @ desktop , make sure nas drive mounted.
