Hello, I'm a tech savvy home user with a long history of IT involvement dating back to the late 90s. In our home (two users), we have a handful of iOS devices and a single Windows-based laptop. I've started looking at NAS options as a way to automatically back-up photos and videos from our iOS devices instead of paying for cloud storage. I need the photos and videos be accessible from outside our home. I have no interest in other activities (e.g., use of PLEX). I need the software piece to be simple and as automatic as possible.
I have been interested in Synology, because they seem to have a simple, user-friendly software environment with good privacy measures, but have some concerns given their recent hardware locking activities. QNAP and UGREEN seem to both fall short in the areas of software and security, although I have had a couple of friends encourage me to use QNAP. Thank you!
