Hello Mac Users!
I just yesterday purchased my first mac ever (13" MBA). So far, so good - it is definitely a pretty nifty machine.
I am not positive how to word this question, but here we go. Obviously, my MBA doesn't have the largest hard drive, so what I am wanting to do is to be able to have one of my desktops act as a storage unit/place to get files for my MBA.
What I have done so far... I wiped my desktop clean and installed windows 7. I have set up the Remote Desktop Connection and I can access my desktop from anywhere, but this only allows me to use my desktop? It won't allow me to transfer files from my MBA to my Desktop and vise versa (this is what I want to be able to do)?
I am aware of programs out there like dropbox (which I am using), but is there no other way to have my desktop at home (which will always be on and connected to the internet) act as some kind of external hard drive for my mac while I am at work. So, I can be at work, save a file to my mac and have to automatically save to the desktop, where I can later access it on my MBA after deleting it on the MBA? Is this making sense?
Hopefully someone can make sense of what I am trying to ask. Really, I just want my mac to be able to automatically save files on my desktop, and then I want to be able to remotely access those files and upload them to my mac if necessary.
I greatly appreciate the help.
Best,
JB
