I have been using a 2 bay Synology NAS for about 12 years and love it. I am on my second unit and about to retire it and install my third. My use is mostly for backups of all my computers but it can do a lot more. Map a network drive to it and use it just like a local drive. The included software is great and has a lot of functionality. The hardware is not always cutting edge like some other brands but it work well.

Haven't you thought to create your own NAS with TrueNAS or unraid?

It is worth mentioning in case of fire/flood/theft all your photos will be gone. You need offsite backup as well.

Is the RAM and SSD needed for this to operate or is it optional and it just makes the server better?

You were snapping in a few extra circuit boards and quickly brushed over it, as if I was familiar with what they were for, and if they have to be bought separately from the main unit.

So playing the devil's advocate; one of the biggest if not the biggest pros on the "Cloud" is that saving locally at home and mirroring to the cloud meant that in the event of a home fire or a "cloud" fire your data was safe in the other location. You partially address this by setting up another NAS somewhere else, which assumes you have people you trust.

Hello, I have a question about cloud storage devices like Synology NAS storage. The question is: As it is known, Google provides 15 GB of storage space for Gmail / Google Drive, etc. The problem is that 15 GB is not enough, and the subscription is expensive. So, if I buy an external device like Synology NAS storage, can I transfer Gmail storage to an external device? Can I use it as a primary storage instead of Google's storage? I hope the question is clear.

See it like this; Synology NAS will be your Google cloud, photos Dropbox everything. You don't need Google anymore once you sync with synology. It automatically just like Google.
