Make your own Cloud

[Vizie]

Hello. 

 

I've bought a ASUSTOR NAS a few months back. I do not have alot of experience with NAS and would like to know if there is a way to make/use a program like OneDrive etc with this NAS.

Yeah, take a look at ownCloud. I'm in the process of trying to set up a private 'own' cloud solution but haven't had a lot of time recently.

Map it as a network drive on your computer, and then there should be a web UI, My nas box has one with a files manager, maybe yours will too.

Yeah, I did check that out. But its really weird.. It feels like its only a sync and not a place to store stuff if you get me?

[Vizie]

@pbx2 Yeah. Just that the file manager is so awful Would love to make my own webpage with just a filemanager but I guess that would be really hard.

Mine is too, Since its Asus (And maybe not locked down like my dlink one), Maybe you can install Free-nas or something on it.

Will try. Thanks for the help.

That's what cloud storage does. Dropbox and OneDrive stores data in the cloud servers and synchronizes changes to those files across the connected devices. There will be local and cloud versions of the files.
