As Samuel said, to be accessible from more than one place without
switching plugs it either has to be a server (e.g. a NAS) or plugged
into a server (your PC).
If the two PC's are close together there are USB switches, but I assume
you would need to manually umount the USB drive before switching:
From an Amazon blurb: "This USB Switch 4 Port device allows up
to 2 users to share 4 USB 3.0 peripheral devices, such as printer,
scanner,mouse,keyboard or usb dicsk [sic] etc without the need to
constantly swap cables or set up complicated network sharing
software. It's a great [sic] for use at home if you have multiple PCs
or Macs."
