Have an old 2TB WD Mycloud (no longer supported, older OS) and need to set up a proper NAS for the home. Heavy multimedia users (lots of photos, music and video usage - including 4k H.265) and looking for a solution to store on NAS (limited space on smaller laptop SSDs) as well as backup solutions. Prefer network storage to local device storage, but also interested in backup of data - especially for photos and videos. Will have up to 4 users as kids grow in use of mobile devices and/or future laptops for school use. Ability to back up/store/archive photos from mobile devices (all iOS users), videos and be able to play back videos from NAS to devices(smart TVs, laptops, mobile devices/tablets) in home would be ideal. Sharing with family members outside of home a bonus. Could use old WD MYcloud for backup purposes and/or cloud storage (Google drive) for photos as a backup option.
