    Pretty much the only way around this is to keep the computers in sync at all times using something like Syncthing. Otherwise you will be bound to some sort of network drive thing, be it cephfs, NFS, Samba.

    A lot of enterprise grade stuff will also not exactly appreciate extended periods of being offline or powered off without triggering the need for a full resync.

    Honestly your best bet might just be some USB drive you keep around.
