Suggestions for network storage
Hi,
I have a small network with 4 Mac laptops, about a dozen Windows machines, and a couple of Linux boxes.
I need a 1TB storage unit that all the machines on the network can store stuff onto.
It is important that it shows up as a drive on the local computer, be able to drag and drop files onto the drive to upload files, or click on the drive and drag and drop files to folders on your computer to download files.
I thought about building a linux machine, setup an FTP account for each user, and then on each computer, map a drive out of the ftp account.
Considering that I have a heterogenous network, would this be easy to do?
Or please suggest other possible options.
Thx.
