Hi everyone! I am new to this site so I dont know how this works... But I have a question.

If I am building myself a home server/NAS that would be running Ubuntu server, how can I create a remote file access? Also is it possible for me to create a specific ammount of storage for each new user on the server?

Thank you!

If you don't have much experience with servers and/or linux you might be better off with a purpose-built NAS OS like FreeNAS.

 

Were you looking to just build a NAS or do you want more?
