And my NAS is something I can use for that, albeit with limitations. One of my big self-promises in the latter part of 2021 and going into the new year is to learn some new IT skills. So it's not even just network-attached storage for one location. All I have to do is use a web browser and log in. I didn't need to set up VPNs or any other complicated thing I don't really understand, Synology handled it. The icing on the cake with this Synology unit is how easy it is to access my files from outside my home network. It's integrated into both my work and my entertainment, and there's room for a lot more. The scope of what you can use a NAS for is what surprised me the most and is also the reason I simply don't think I could live without one anymore.
I've used it to set up a Plex server delivering on-demand media, live TV, and DVR capabilities to the whole house, I've used it to experiment with Docker, host email, and yes, as network storage accessible from any PC.
I'm using a Synology DS218+, far from the biggest, baddest NAS you can get, but even so and with, by PC standards, pretty average internals, it's a seriously powerful little box. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
