Yes, you login with a given username and password which may be changed at your discretion, and you can then access what is basically the same PC from any PC on the network. The same login details can be used to access email and a web based system of some kind. My old school used their own cloud file system that linked in directly with your own 'drive' and they also used Microsoft online, or share point as i believe they are now calling it. Sorry for the slow reply, been working the past couple days. -Lucas

I'd like to thank eveyone for their imput. After looking into it a bit more i think i am going to use FreeNAS and set it up so i can access it via a dormain - allowing me to access them from work etc. I'll build another box in the future for anything else that i may want to play with. Once again, Thanks for the quick replys and inputs. -Lucas

Okay, so this way is the best way of simply having another option to click on when in 'This PC'.

So with public folders, anyone on the network can access them?

Oh, okay! I think that's the best way for me to go about things. Much thank for help good sir!

I'm assuming that your running FreeNAS as a VM?

Looking into it a bit more, do you know how Schools or colleges work their systems. The school i went too has a system where you log in to any computer and your connected to your own "Drive" so to speak, where you can keep your files. Would this be more of a home cloud system?

Hello one and all, I am currently working on a home server / NAS system for the family. Specs are not a problem, but what i am having trouble figuring out is what OS to use. I am hoping to be able to use the server as a server, and not just a NAS, hosting test servers etc. for hobby work. The Main function of the server is going to be network attached storage - is it possible to use an OS such as Windows Server or just a standard windows OS to host a NAS in the way that FreeNAS would? Or am i going to have to ditch the hobby bit and just use FreeNAS? Thank you for reading this and i would be interested in finding out what home server's you've got if you've got one. So far i've been given a £300 budget, along with anything i can spare for a couple months in order to build the box. Thank you and Kind Regards, ~Lucas Madden
