Hi to all.
I have about 80GB of documents (mainly pdf) which at the moment I store in a USB pendrive.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a sort of private local cloud so that to be able to access to those files from the locally connected devices (PC with linux and windows, android tablet and smartphone) and possibly being able to get the last read page when changing from a device to the other.
Moreover it is important to avoid local copies of the files on the reading devices.
Is there any software (possibly open source) which permit me to create such a thing?
What type of reading software should I use on the devices?
Currently I use okular on linux and ebookdroid or librera on android.
I do not use a lot windows and in case I prefer a portable or browser based reader.
My idea is if any software permit me to do that to test it using my pc as "local cloud server" and if it works then try to find a portable mini pc with a battery which could run the same and share using wifi.
Any idea?
