That would make mounting a share on the NAS as a network drive on all three machines easy, you can then set the PC's up to save directly onto the NAS, where you can fish the images off from the third to do what you want with.
I am doing something like that at the moment playing around with practice timelapses, a laptop running Backyard EOS is writing the images direct to my NAS as they are taken (And I use Teamviewer to do anything required on the remote machine) so I can look at the images from inside the house where it is warm! I am hoping to do a bit more remote work and hopefully have the imaging laptop inside the house running remote USB ports shared form a Raspberry Pi at the camera end. What I am doing now demands a wired ethernet connection, sharing USB ports will be even more demanding, hopefully the network speed out there is enough as my current lead length is limiting it to 100meg.

QUOTE2 When I was in computer sales 10 years ago, we used to sell 240V powerline ethernet adapters. These provided 5Mbs data transfer as long as each device is on the same phase. They were great for providing internet to remote sheds that had 240V power.
There are a few companies still providing these adapters. This is a link to the Jaycar version that does 500Mbs data transfer.
