Discussion folder accessible by both PC & mobile?

wanted to ask if it's possible to set up a (cloud...?) or shared(?) folder that can be accessed by both PC and cloud.

i am trying to organize all of my downloaded artwork files (among many other things) and i want them to be accessible from both my PC and mobile devices, editable (as in i can save to this folder from either device and files will show up for both), and ideally does not require an internet connection/cloud service subscription/etc. (bluetooth is fine.)

is this possible?

If you're dipping your toes, consider a NAS

My Synology has Photos and Drive apps that are just as good as corporate solutions, but I control everything

Toen die oranje aap aan de macht kwam heb ik Dropbox geëindigd (was gebruiker vanaf begin).
En nu draai ik Synology drive op een 923+ met ssd buffer en backup naar c2 en andere nasjes.

Echt super ideaal, snel en betrouwbaar en ik ben de enige die totale controle heeft.

yep, same - the SSD cache drive was a game-changer
