Hi, I'd appreciate advice on a NAS to replace photo cloud storage (android and apple) as near the free limits, have one eye on the future (3 kids) and control over my data. Basically after seamless back-up from mobiles, minimal dragging and dropping, instant access. Saw Synology is well reviewed, as well as coping with iPhone backup and whatever other documents etc we might need. Seen enclosures + disks near budget. I'm an average home computer user, could probably cope with the set up but wasn't clear if I'd got the wrong end of the stick, or whether any better/cheaper options. Tbs of storage are overkill currently but expecting to use half as a mirror. Also wasn't sure about any issues with a mesh network - have Vodafone router (wireless turned off) and a Linksys mesh, presumably can plug into any ethernet port? Thanks for your help
