I want my own person cloud storage I could access from anywhere in the world with some Google Photos functionalities and probably some tinkering but not a lot. It would be just me and my partner using it, but mostly just me. Maybe install a PiHol? Is that an option? What other possibilities are there?
Thank you for taking your time to answer my questions!
Is there any benefits of buying directly from them? I think I would get a single bay enclosure and 4tb disk (I should be able to close in a $200$250 range).
It probably wouldn't be just me using it though - I would probably include my partner in it. Is it possible to have separate accounts for Drive and Moments so our photos/files wouldn't overlap?
EDIT: Have you used the self hosted email functionality? Can you recommend it over let's say Proton Mail?
So if I understand correctly, Synology DSM is operating system that can be installed on any NAS drive? Or do you have to first buy their enclosure to use it? I found a used Synology enclosure with 2tb disk for $200 and I'm wondering if I should get it. Is stuff like Synology Moments (which is presume is just an app on the DSM system) free or is it extra?
Ooooooo I like the sound of this. What's the community's opinion on them when it comes to privacy? I don't mind paying a monthly fee if it's all taken care for me.
It could possibly work as a community where only the moderators could post and all the submission would be driven through them, crediting the original author?
Is there a capability of having stuff on the cloud, but not locally, but they will still be accessible on the phone given the computer/server is on and that I'm online on my phone.
EDIT: See if I had a half decent computer, but with a decent storage (let's say 1tb) and I had on all time - could I potentially use it as my own self hosted cloud?
When I say free, I obviously meant "at no extra cost". So doesn't matter if you are working, if you are a foreigner or any other situation - you need help, you receive it. No questions asked, no worries about the cost - people come together and everybody chip in.
Regarding the gun violence, USA is a big country. I know that thefts and rape are an issue in the area I stay - I never experienced it first handedly though. It doesn't mean it's not an existing problem.
But, not to drag this forever, it seems we both happy in the places we live in. Both have their good and bad sides, so let's just agree to disagree :D
