ACLOG: Accessing a common logfile from two different networks

 

I want to setup a logfile that can be shared by two clients, each on a different wi-fi network.? I operate from a home QTH i.e. Op1) that is on one wi-fi network (i.e. Net1) and a vacation QTH (i.e. Op2) that is one a different wi-fi network (i.e Net2). There is a web-accessible NAS at the home QTH that can also be accessed from the vacation QTH, but it is not accessible as a mapped network drive.? The goal is to use a common logfile that will be automatically updated as a "master" log from either QTH.? But since they are on different networks, and one of the two QTH's PCs is off when not operating from there, it doesn't 't sound like file share or TCP would work, since these require both QTH's to be on the same network.
?
Am I missing something or is there a way to set things up in the manner?
?
Thanks!

Similar setup, I think.? Main QTH in NY and winter QTH in Florida. Two different radios, two different computers. I simply moved my log file to my Google Drive(the cloud!!). I then made sure that ACLOG on both computers pointed to my Google drive file. No matter which QTH I am at, all my QSO¡¯s get logged to one main file and each have the correct location and each upload to LOTW correctly.?

Thanks, Scott.? I assume you have to mount your Google Drive as a network mapped drive on both computers? I am under the impression that web-accessed cloud storage won't work, correct?

That is correct. Mount the google drive on each computer so that you can point ACLog to it from both locations.?
