Hello everyone,

I am currently planning to leave Google Drive with all my data (currently “only” 90GB).

I like the idea of being able to access my data from everywhere though.

Due to how ISPs work where I live, I don’t have a fixed IP, except I pay a monthly fee for that and become a “business client”.

What do I need besides a NAS (or a Pi with an attached external HDD) to store and access my data?

I currently only have a Laptop and a Pi 3B + WD Elements I already use for Plex.

Plex has the “luxury” of auto-configuring my router and somehow mapping its IP so I can “just connect” from everywhere.

Is there something like that for storage?

What security measures should I consider?

    I haven’t tried it, but a small SBC/PC with Homedrive.io. It’s NextCloud + their own trickery to not have to bust ports.

    Software is free, and you can even buy a NUS or Pi with the software pre-installed if that’s more comforting to you.
