Question by KILLER_X: Is it possible to use an external hard drive sort of like a cloud server?
For example, if I take an external hard drive, and plug one USB input into one PC and a Firewire input into a Mac, if I drag a file from the PC into the external hard drive, will the file show up on the Mac in the external hard drive?
