What setup is necessary to implement the following..

[dmcky]

Let me start off that my experience with Linux is minimal, but I can read and I'm not afraid of bricking anything

I bought a tablet recently with very limited memory so I'm trying to create my own cloud solution. I guess the best way to describe what Im aiming for is a drive that shows up on my PC(or any other PC I choose I guess) as a local drive whenever I have an internet connection, NOT just my network. Also nothing on that drive should be local, I.E. when I put something in the drive, it should get pushed to the Pogo storage, and when I copy out of it it should be copied locally.

From what I've read it seems like Im looking at arch & samba, anyone got any guides to implement this?

And at least openvpn to get to the files when you aren't local, if you want to use samba on the tablet.

If configuring for access when away from my network is too much I might just bite the bullet. Is the standard samba setup what I described minus the access from any connection?
