So i do some photography and other crap from time to time... My laptop's hard drive is pretty full and my google drive is also starting to get pretty full... So what I want to do is use Have one of my 2tb Hard drives sitting at my house connected to the network... Basically I want to make my own Google Drive except I don't have to pay an ungodly amount of money to store my files... the Only problem is... I haven't the faintest clue how to do this... I already have a Nas setup but I want to make a completely detached from system for my photography. Any Ideas how to do this... I want to be able to access these files from wherever... how do i do this

Get one of these, or something like it.

 

OR

 

Build a cheap PC and run a NAS OS on it. (Could get old HP/Dell workstation off ebay, build an i3-8100 with 8GB or less RAM).

 

Whichever method you choose is up to you, a PC setup as a NAS will probably be more expensive and more complicated to setup.
