Example, I take photos of my daughter's horse and place them on a folder on my desktop. Rather than come into my study, sit at my computer and look at the photos I thought it should be easy for her to view the relevant folder on her laptop and look at the photos that way. Perhaps also transfer one or two of the photos to her laptop. But it all seems very complicated to set up.
