Hey guys,

My uncle is looking into getting his personal cloud (for redundancy and working on documents on different computers easily) and one of his options is https://nextcloud.com/box/ .

From what I read I'm not completely sure I like it. However, I would like to know the opinion you guys have about the product (both hardware and software) and, if you have tried it, how did it go.

 

Thanks!!

The best way to measure the quality of a piece of code is "Oh F*** "s per line

Raspberry Pi is a terrible choice for a NAS.

And why did they go for a USB 3.0 drive? The RPi doesn't have USB 3. But I agree: the Raspberry Pi is NOT a good choice for a NAS unit, unless it had some SERIOUS hardware and software optimizations.

I agree the product NextCloud Box doesn't seem optimal unless you're just using it for a few documents or something. I recently started using NextCloud as a DropBox replacement and I really like it so far. I'm running it in a VM with a separate NAS as the backend storage.
