We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Noob question. Does every NAS offer a cloud to access your files? (alien.top)

Im in need of about 4tb of storage (2 in reality, but if it grows I dont want to be messing with it for a while)

I need to share the NAS on 4 local computers but I would like to access the files remotely in case im not at the location. Does every NAS offer this?

We have a 3tb WD MyCloud thingy at work and it works fine for what im planning to use, but I dont know if there are better options out there.

VPN and SFTP. That is the way.

Yeah!

But, you still can use smth like Synology cloud sync to synchronize the data on cloud and access them via the internet. For sure, suitable Synology NAS is required.

My comment was aimed more at he diyers who setup their own NAS solution
