Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Noob question. Does every NAS offer a cloud to access your files? (alien.top)

Im in need of about 4tb of storage (2 in reality, but if it grows I dont want to be messing with it for a while)

I need to share the NAS on 4 local computers but I would like to access the files remotely in case im not at the location. Does every NAS offer this?

We have a 3tb WD MyCloud thingy at work and it works fine for what im planning to use, but I dont know if there are better options out there.

Hey, I don't judge. I love all my data hoarder brothers and sisters. I'm just saying, eventually, everyone goes a little crazy and they need to have 100 Pb of storage and when that happens, you fall into the rabbit hole that is the diy NAS server.

Well, but if that doesn't happen?

I do prefer pre-built NAS over DIY when it comes for simple and straightforward solution, but it still depends from the use case.

You do you 😉

It is still not only about me. But ok.
