So essentially at the moment I'm using iCloud, I've got 200Gb, but I might have to get the 2Tb one soon as I started downloading some movies and stuff to watch myself and for my wife which add up pretty fast and occupy quite some space, just a show with 3 seasons occupies like 70gb it seems.
So in essence the requirements would be the following:
- It must work without subscriptions or anything similar (if it's a one time payment it's fine)
- It must work, somehow, with iCloud Drive (there's an option to add a server or something like that but I don't know how it works) the point being that while I might learn how a server works and all its things, my wife won't, so ideally it should work as another folder in iCloud Drive that me and my wife can access easily and we are in the Apple ecosystem luckily or unluckily, either way, we're there, so syncing all the pictures to iCloud is fine, but I can't fill it up with movies as it will slowly but certainly take over my wallet with a bit of time.
- Ideally I should have the possibility to download or upload data to it, from the Files app, from anywhere, so it should be connected to the internet.
The problems are the following:
- I barely know what NAS means
- I do not have a PC at the moment, but I had a couple during my life and I know how to use them, I'm not mentally incapacitated in using a PC either with windows or macos so I won't die if I have to install stuff from the internet or set up stuff but ideally I should be able to use my iPad or iPhone to set up whatever the final option would be, if not possible, I'll try to get a PC
- I'm not into IT, so please avoid strange terms like I've seen on other posts about the topic, rsync, rsomething idk.. I really don't know what's that 😂
So in essence, if anyone knows any viable options with this set of requirements it would be amazing and I'd really appreciate it, if such option doesn't exist, I'll just figure out the classic way of doing it but hopefully someone had a similar situation to mine and found a solution.
Thanks in advance guys :)
