A single directory organizes files into different locations.
A single directory organizes files into different locations.
Consider creating a folder on your desktop and linking it to multiple directories. When you upload a file, it should automatically distribute copies across all linked folders on your desktop. This setup functions similarly to a local dropbox, keeping everything within your network.
I was considering a setup where folders reside on separate devices across my internal network. On my R7 machine, the folder appears when I add items, and it shows up on my R5 and NAS as well.
You can use programs that watch a specific folder and automatically duplicate files to other places, acting like backup solutions. You can also install software on remote machines that regularly sync a local folder to the one you want to store. RSYNC is an example of such a tool, though for Linux there are alternatives you can explore. For instance, a search on the web points to a Windows version at https://acrosync.com/windows.html
