Need help with my configuration

[jabbs]

Hi all

I need some expert help.

I have a 2018 iMac, with an external hard drive. I use Lightroom and Photoshop, and have my photos stored on this external drive.
I also have a NAS drive, which is directly connected to my Sky broadband router with a cable.
My iMac can see this NAS drive.

What I wanted to be able to do, but apparently cant due to Lightroom constraints, is have my lightroom photo collection on the NAS drive so that I can access it remotely if I want to.
Turns out I have to use the external drive for the library, and can sync a copy to the NAS drive (which I'm yet to get working).

I've just treated myself to a new shiny Macbook Pro, and now would really like to have my photos stored on the NAS drive so I can edit my photos from the Macbook or the iMac.

Any idea how I might go about this? Is it still "impossible"? Has anyone done anything similar?

You know the old saying "all the gear ... no idea"? Well I feel like thats me right now.

Any help very much appreciated, and am happy to explain further if this rambling post isn't making much sense.

Thanks

Steve

I would think turning on file sharing on the iMac computer with the external drive would allow editing of the photos on the drive connected to it from the other machine once connected to the share.

Thank you I'll try that.
