Hi, maybe you can try using webdav access with davfs2 and autofs. Following
site can give some idea:

Alternatively, again with webdav access, you can have dolphin or nautilus
point to this webdav share, or mount it with fuse with startup script that
runs at each user logon.

that being said, a sync solution as mentioned with Craig might be the
best...
