Hi,

I have an old pc that I would like to use as an storage to install games on. I know about parsec and moonlight for streaming games, but it probably won’t work in that case since GPU on that PC is pretty crappy, so I would rather use one from my everyday PC. The possibilities I see here are to either use this PC only as external storage and read files from it via some kind of protocol, or connect to it with something like remote desktop and “borrow” my everyday PC GPU’s power. It would be nice if it wouldn’t be super slow solution when using over WAN since I would like to give a friend access to it. Would something like this even be possible?

    Thanks, I’ll try it out then. Btw. do you know maybe if there are other file transfer protocols that doesn’t require downloading files to the client machine, that would be worth experimenting with in that case too? I’m rather a novice to networking stuff, but it would be nice to explore this topic a bit more

      Smb is supported. So if you have two PCs that can see each other you can have permissions on folders that you want shared. It’s up to you.
