Joshua Farrell Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Do any of you run your own personal house cloud or server, that you can store things off of your computer, and still can access at any time? If so, what do you have running it? I have a couple of hard drives attached to my network hub, for network attached storage, but it doesn't hold more than 2 terabytes of space. Have some basic things on it that I want to keep, just incase my desktop attached hardrives go bad on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Not yet. But going to be in near future. I have few cloud self hosting options in mind but not sure how I would do everything. I have pretty much strong attraction for NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Personally, I think that you have set up a good cloud system to save your files and I'm very sure that you can readjust to increase its memory capacity. For now, I'm making use of Backup servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Nope, I have google cloud backup that I can save things too 😉 Also I still do the old ways of backing up to external drives. I keep it low cost rather then paying for servers and hardware to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I plan to host my own cloud server either by using Nextcloud or by using Syncthing as I want to be in control of my data at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's good for Documents, but other then that, It's not that large pf a space that you do get for free in your account. Not like paying for it.
