Good evening, I am looking into getting a NAS system for the first time after years of frustration with cloud services due to cloud service data caps and subscription costs. I have minimal server/IT experience but am eager to learn the ins and out of NAS. I am hoping to get a system that is capable of secure remote access from my personal laptop and Iphone as well as remote access from family members phones and computers to share and store photo and video data. I hope to still utilize the google suite for file creation and editing (drive primarily for school). I plan on having a dedicated google account for a cloud backup of photos and videos (under 15 GB) and a offline failsafe backup SSD to backup to from the NAS on a monthly basis. I am hoping to understand which brand to go with (Synology or QNAP) to replace cloud photo storage and gain a streamlined remote access via multiple IOS devices. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for the amazing information already.
