Hey everyone! I'm strongly considering starting my own personal cloud so I can access my movies and data anywhere. My use case is that I'd like to be able to store and acess all my pictures and personal files from anywhere and also access a PleX server from outside my local network while I'm away from home. At most I'd have 1 to 2 users at any given time streaming up to 4k movies.
My friend is saying that I should just use an Nvidia shield with a hard drive connected to it for remotely accessing my plex but I can't seem to find much info on whether this is a suitable setup for also accessing my other files remotely. From what I've seen online a NAS seems to be a better fit for my use case but my friend is insisting that thats expensive and unecessary. I'm a very big beginner with regards to NAS's and Plex servers so I'd really appreciate some advice on getting started on my data hoarding journey, thanks everyone!
