STOP using Cloud Storage! Do this instead:
If you are still using Cloud Storage, you need to watch this!

"what if your house burns down or NAS is stolen" – Most of us connect an external drive to the NAS, back up the important data to it automatically, and then put it in a Fireproof & Waterproof safe along with our passports/ wills and other important stuff. Rotate it with last month's backup drive.
Don't have a safe? keep the external drive in your car/ parent's house.
"Cloud providers, they don't go down" – eh… nope. Just google "google services down" and see that 3 days ago (at the time of writing this) it was down.
"Can you backup the NAS offsite?" – 100% – you can do a NAS-to-NAS backup. So you take your nas and it gets backed up to your NAS located in your office or your parent's house. In fact, you can set up the NAS for your parents/ brothers/ sisters and you become each other's backup.
If you want to, use CloudSyc to back up your data from your NAS to the Cloud and visa versa. So when Google goes down, or if you are locked out of your Google account, you can still access your stuff.
You can use BackBlaze too.
I want MY data to remain under MY control. If you don't and trust Cloud providers, by all means – you do that. Just please back up your stuff – and NOT just your documents.
I have been in this industry for a long time and I 100% know that the same people who come up with all the excuses of why "on prem NAS is a bad idea", are the same people who will bitch and moan WHEN they lose their data and have to rebuild their entire system because they only backed up some data so they can make use of the "free storage".
But hey, you can use whatever you want – there is no one-solution-fits-all.
legit best way is having a copy on ur own device/nas and one on cloud 🙂
Don't use this. A hardware NAS is just another point of failure. Instead, use software NAS. You can easily get a cheap refurbished dell optiplex from second hand market and install TrueNAS or something equivalent on it. They also make cases that have tons of HDD slots that you can use with said refurbished computer running TrueNAS
NAS is great for someone who has the space for it, but it does require maintenance and sometimes they disconnect and/or fail. I personally like using Cloud storage for client files, and external hard drives for client and personal files and put them inside a fireproof safe.
Half of video sponsored = I will definitely blacklist this channel to never show in search results ever.
"Stop using these affordable backup options and purchase these expensive ones that I'll make some money from instead!!!" 🤣
Nah, I'll pass. Cloud storage is better, because it can't be damaged or destroyed or lost like your tangible device.
Very expensive solution better off with basic cloud solutions from Amazon or Google.
I love Kamala's explanation of the cloud
Thanks @lironsegev i am was exactly looking for this. Initially i thought to build my own network after hiring someome to develop a portal which works like this i didnt knew about synology thanks i got exactly what i wanted.
Cloud storage won’t crash as much as the local device where you are most likely not to backup also…so bye-bye data, unless you get a 3rd one that will begin a vicious cycle. Just end it with a cloud storage where those corporation will have a couple of backup server that won’t crash.
I don't trust cloud end of. Once you save anything on cloud it becomes anybody's, don't care what anybody else says it's not safe
Is this Windows only or does it work with Linux? Probably the former I guess!
i have a "my cloud" 4tb any way i can format this & use it without my clown
I have google drive , the 100gb plan. Soi t's not safe? I could lose all my photos?
Yest. But it is expensive and you cannot backup a great amount of data, can you ?
Bro paid 50 years of subscription in just one go for setting up his own cloud storage.
I stopped watching when we got to "proprietary power connector". No. Just no.
… but what if you aren't married, have no children and don't like schools or cake??!!??
I'll save you some time…looks like prices start at $900 CA. You're welcome and no thanks….
That is still a single point of failure. If the HD’s in the NAS fail, you have the same problem
Exactly the same as an external hard drive?!?!
Take your dead External drive, remove the HD plug it in as a secondary drive, boot your laptop and it should showup as another driver letter in explorer and you might be able to copy the pics over to your raid
