I'm new to a NAS and a lot of the research makes it seem like they're these crazy advanced things and seem like overkill so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I would be using it to dump raw images and videos from my sony a7iv and would need it to be accessible from my macbook over wifi. Ideally I would want to access it from anywhere, not just at home and would be using the files in Danvinci Resolve and Lightroom Classic

Is TrueNAS the best choice if I don't want to spend money? What about NextCloud? I should have a usb to ethernet adapter laying around to be able to connect the laptop directly to my router but if I do that would I be able to get some sort of a usb-c hub that can take both a usb drive and ethernet at the same time?

Sorry for the newbie questions but I have the stuff laying around and figured it can be a cool project instead of manually connecting external drives all the time. I know RAID isnt a backup but this is all data that I wouldn't mind losing. I just want to see how useable this all is before I invest any real money for a proper NAS down the line

Hardware Lenovo Yoga 15 - 2 usb-a ports, 1 usb-c port, hdmi port. 2 1TB Samsung T5 SSD
