Wondering if the following might be possible:
I have a 3rd Gen Time Capsule. I keep my original RAW photos on it, which I edit with Lightroom on my 2013 MacBook Air.
I also have a Windows 8.1 desktop. However, it does not have a wireless adapter. I connect it to my Virgin Media Super Hub using a Trendnet Powerline adapter.
What I'm wondering is since the Time Capsule is connected by ethernet to the Vrigin Media Super Hub, and the Windows 8 desktop is indirectly connected to the Super Hub using the Powerline adapter, whether I can have my Windows 8 desktop hard drive mirror the Time Capsule picture hard drive? Or at least access the Time Capsule hard drive?
Being able to do would also allow me to also use Lightroom on my Windows desktop to edit the same original RAW files (assuming editing the same Lightroom catalogue with both a Mac and Windows machine is doable? I keep my catalogue on Dropbox so syncing between the two machines is not a problem).
Alternatively, is there a way to set my Windows desktop to mirror the Pictures folder on my Time Capsule via a cloud solution?
Thanks!
P.S. My Lightroom workflow, btw, is to transfer RAW photos from my SD card to my 2013 Air and do the editing there on the fast SSD, and then move the new original RAW photo file to the Time Capsule (within Lightroom, otherwise the Lightroom will lose the file association). I then upload my RAW files to Google Drive for offsite backup of the originals.
If anyone has any suggestions on how this setup can also be improved that would be appreciated. For example, I would to have Google Drive or another cloud service Mirror my RAW picture folder on my Time Capsule so that I wouldn't have to manually upload to Google Drive. Could I do this with iCloud or something else? Cost is an issue. Thanks.
