manage photos across users through NAS
Hello everyone,
I recently setup a NAS (synology) as my photo data was scattered across many external drives before. I have few requirements which I'm not sure how to accomplish. Right now what I have done is I've moved my old aperture / iphoto library directly to NAS and open it across network. I dont know if this is a good idea in the long run and I also dont have access to these while i'm not at home. So its not ideal. What my requirement is, Use the NAS as a central backup for the photos while giving me the access to edit photos on the go (while i'm at home or outside-offline). Another reason I've done it the current way is because so my wife can also access the photo library directly through her own user account without any complications. So to summarise.
- use NAS as central repository for the iphoto/aperture
- has ability to work offline on the photos
- accesss the same library data with another user account.
using aperture 3.5.1 / osx 10.9.x / iphoto latest version. my main source of data is 2 iphones & a digital cam (point & shoot)
thanks.
