I am a graphic Designer with no technical server experience. We have 4 designers in our studio that use iMacs and we have recently got a new nas server. We are encountering file errors with some of our Adobe files and they are "disappearing" from the server.

I haves searched some Adobe forums and apparently they don't support CS4 and CS5 over a network. In our studio we have different people working on the same files, at different times of the day, so we need them stored in one location and not on the local HD.

As the server environment is not going to work for us if we can't use adobe software, we are looking at alternatives. One being getting a Mac Mini and storing our files there and then accessing it from file sharing as a "server" so that all our files are in one spot.

Can anyone please advise if this option, or a Mac mini server would work for us, and if we can add 2-3 Windows users as well.

It should work fine.

File sharing to the iMacs vis AFP and to the Windows machines via SMB.
