Want to Move Off Corporate Cloud - What Do? (hexbear.net)

Feel free to point me in a different direction if this isn't the comm for this, but I've been using a corporate cloud service (think Google Drive or OneDrive) to back up my personal files and want to move away from that.

What kind of solutions are out there so that I can back up and access my files securely from multiple platforms (Windows, mobile)? Should I think about setting up a NAS in my home?

Like most of these posts have said, it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish, how much you’re willing to spend, and how much time/effort you’re willing to put in.

If you’re mainly just looking to back things up for disaster recovery, a desktop external hard drive and a bash script to periodically move things would do fine
If you’re looking for something inexpensive to replace Google’s suite of cloud products NextCloud or TrueNas running on basically any old piece of hardware you have laying around/acquire from craigslist will work. Just know you’ll be doing a fair amount of configuration and management yourself
If you want to replace Google’s suite, don’t want to mess with maintenance/configuration as much, and are willing to spend some money, Synology sells plenty of ready made NAS devices with a suite of apps that may replace what you’re doing today
