Possible to give "Network Service" on one computer permission to a directory on another computer?

I have a file:

\\Computer1\Share\file.pdf

and I need to open in using a service running as the network service account on another computer:

Computer2\NETWORK SERVICE

FWIW, Both Computer1 and Computer2 are on the same domain Domain1

Is it possible to accomplish this task?

When using a local account to access domain network share, you will be prompted to enter the user credential for the domain. Please note that all servers in a domain must be passed domain credentials.

Locate a problem user and open their Properties. Select the Security tab, click Advanced then select the Effective Permissions tab. Click Select and type NETWORK SERVICE account, then click OK.

Yes.

If both servers are on the same domain then you can enable access to the share for Domain1\Computer2$ (where Computer2$ represents Network Service on Computer2).
