I am looking into getting a NAS setup at home, but have to consider wanting it to just work and work for my family who are not technically advanced. They use computers fine, but being asked to open a terminal would require letter by letter instructions.
So my question, what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS for files and video (family trips, etc) storage?
My users interface with my server via plex, smb and Nextcloud.
The guts are pretty complicated but from my users’ point of view it’s pretty simple.
You should think about what services you plan to offer and go from there.
Be aware that none of the off the shelf products have a good reputation for being secure when providing services outside your network which is when you may want stuff like Nextcloud.
