I desperwtely need a home cloud to integrate all mybrandom hdds and I cant take it anymore
Internal Wireless Server
A synology nas, and for the sending i often just use KDE connect
Set up a NAS [truenas]. Connect it to your home network using LAN.
You can then connect all your hard disks to this NAS.
Set up Tailscale VPN on NAS as well as all devices from which you want to access the files.
Once all devices and NAS are on Tailscale VPN, you can mount the NAS drives using SMB on your devices and use it from anywhere in the world as long as NAS is powered on and has internet access.
You can connect your NAS to a switch with a wireless AP or directly to a wireless AP
You want a device called a “nas” that has wireless.
The person who said synology is telling you one brand of nas.
If your hdds are external then you want one that supports usb.
I want one thatvsupports a home “cloud” whatever that is
Can you tell me what you mean, or link to something that is what you mean?
There are products called “home cloud” but they’re not all close to what you’ve described.
For example western digital has a line of products called home cloud but that might not be what you’re asking for.
It proly is. My idea is a gard drive cloud that you can connect to with WiFi and interexchange files with. WP definitely rings a bell, i just hope theres more private less chatty resources available
You just want a wireless nas. Are your extant drives external ones you plug up with usb or are they a bunch of internal ones you would need to put inside a computer?
I use a Synology NAS specifically because I like their app ecosystem.
Edit: I also have used LocalSend and think its great for a one-off device-to-device transfer.
Localsend should do the job of copy and paste. You can also selfhost your own private alternative of Pastebin, there’s dozens of them online.
For the local cloud storage, you may use Nextcloud (AIO), Seafile, Owncloud or (for images) Immich.
