Tech literate and interested home user, however no NAS experience. Other members of home not skilled with technology. Have been using external hard drives but would like network level solution. Primary needs are photo backup from multiple mobile devices, automated backups from 3+PCs, long term storage of documents and media (videos, music) without streaming. Potential need for sharing photos with family in future.
Primary motivations are data security and data redundancy. Currently running Unifi home network setup (UCG-fiber) and I am familiar with that UI. However, Ubiquity offerings do not seem to meet needs in regard to software support. Synology is not being considered due to hardware lock issue. Considering a UGreen device with TrueNAS. Looking for recommendations on best path forward. Budget is flexible.
Thank you.
