Solution for using SC in multiple locations

Hello,

I trade from two locations and was looking for a viable solution that would allow me to access SC at either one. I need access to the same chartbook, studies, with all my drawings and trades etc.
I've been through all the posts about using VPS.

Indeed- I have my own bare metal server that I have SC installed on, with good latency in all directions- however, there is an issue with multiple monitors.
When I log in from one location- I have a 6 monitor setup, and in the other I do not. What this does each time I log-in is all the windows get jumbled up and I need to reposition them every time I logout/in to the remote server with another system.
Anyone have a solution to this?

What about an option of remote-hosting certain SC files in the cloud, and having some sort of backup/download done to that remote folder every few minutes to keep both locations in sync? Size issues, issues of file being copied while open or copied over while in use etc?

You might want to try a window manager. I use Tan Window manager. I have 2- 50" TV,s and a 32" Samsung monitor. Every once in a while
SC gets all messed up, I just click on the icon and click my saved layout and it goes back to how I want it.

Not sure how the remote login will affect things.
