Hello, I want to ask advice from the experts of this sub.

I have a DROBO 5D3 which I bought to store all my photos throughout the last decade. It is still working and now want to move out of it just incase.

I initially thought of a NAS setup but dont know which one to get. Been looking at Synology, but I guess the recent update makes it bad from what I read.

I will use the new one to store all photos using Lightroom to organize the folders and also store some files. Will be sharing with my wife.

Have zero IT knowledge but willing to learn. Would want to get something more future proof.

Really basic use, not into the VM/Homeassistant, plex server space yet. - but maybe in the future will consider.

With NAS, my concern is if it’s secure being attached to the network and potentially be accessed by bad actors?

Thanks again.
