[QUOTE="daniel2218, post: 1153466, member: 182363"] Hello Mac Forum Users, Apologies if this has already been discussed. I’ve been searching for an answer to this dilemma with no luck. I’ve got an iMac 27” at my office but I travel with a MB Air. Most of my files are on an external drive that needs to stay in the office. The files are large enough that I’d prefer not to use iDisk or other cloud based storage options as my primary storage device. I’d also prefer not to have to deal with syncing folders from the primary storage device to iDisk. With these parameters in mind, is there a way in OS X or a third party app to access that storage device remotely (i.e. have that device pop up on the desktop of my MB Air) as if I just plugged it in? It seems like a simple request but I’ve had no luck so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Daniel Seattle, WA [/QUOTE]
