Hi there,

 

My wife and I run a small business from home - we both have M1 Macbook Pros. We'd love a way to access the same file storage on our network, and have that storage space be Google Drive. That way everything is synced and kept up to date. So if im downloading a file online for work, I can save it straight down onto the Mac Mini synced Google Drive space, and not into my local Download files which is a blackhole.

 

We use Google Workspace so sadly Google Drive is non negotiable for the cloud space.

 

Will this 2014 Mac Mini fit the bill and be somewhat future proof from being "invisible" to our M1 Macs?

 

My though process:

 

  1. Setup the 2014 Mac Mini has an accessible storage space on our home network
  2. Install Google Drive for Desktop on that Mac Mini
  3. Add that Mac Mini as a findable drive on our M1 macbook pros (via wifi).
  4. Use the Mac Mini as our central place to save all our client work etc.

 

Open to suggestions on better workflow - here is the Mac Mini I was looking at! We're on a budget so these fancy $2000 network setups are a bit overkill for us.

 

CeX
