So you are using a shared drive on your 'master' computer to share the single (master) Lightroom catalogue file?

I tried this using server software and it refused to work, words to the effect: LightRoom catalogues can not be shared from server hosts.

When I can dedicate some time I must try out various combinations.

I really only want to be able to share a single small sub catalogue between the desk top, Mac mini and the laptop, Mac Book Pro.

Seems to me I can do that via Dropbox.

I really wanted to have a single centralised server serving the desktop and the laptop, accessible to any other devices I may get in the future. I don't really want to store large images or files on my working computers, just on a central server, so I know where everything is, all in one place.

I think I am going to consolidate my image files and catalogue files in my main computer and then create a smaller subset of selected images in a second folder for sharing and showing people.

Life just got a whole lot more complicated!
