Hi All!
As the title says, I am on the search now for a file storage system. Currently I have all of my photos and associated files backing up to cloud storage which works well. But I do worry if I reach a day where a provider decides to stop cloud storage (highly unlikely) or I decide to move to another method and I am downloading tb worth of data and moving it.
Currently thinking of switching to a (noob friendly) NAS where my onedrive will backup on to it once a month or so.
I am also really clueless on servers, this has been a thought over the weekend while storing more images.
Am I crazy or does this sound like a good option?
My advice: Get a Synology, they are a bit more expensive but as “idiot-proof” as a NAS can be. Mine continuously synchronizes with my OneDrive so I always have an up to date copy available. Additionally, I have a third, versioned backup on a friend’s NAS (and he has a backup on mine) in case I get crypto-locked and my files get encrypted.
