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.

      Yeah!

      But, you still can use smth like Synology cloud sync to synchronize the data on cloud and access them via the internet. For sure, suitable Synology NAS is required.

            It’s a data hoarder forum. Everyone hangs around enough on this forum is bound to becomes a NAS diyer at some point. May as we make suggestions toward the inevitability.

              I do not see any issues using not DIY NAS, as OP wants. As you mentioned, it is a data hoarder forum where people can save the data where they want.

                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.
