How to store all files in one place, then edit, access, and add more files remotely?

[cactus_farmer]

Hello guys, I would appreciate any help with this.

I'm trying to store all my media files on one place (a server?).

I'll keep that server in the UK while I move to Australia for work. I'll take a laptop with no media files on it to Australia, but when I open iTunes, I want it to display all the songs I have on the server in the UK. When I press play I want the laptop in Australia to be able to play those songs, even though they are stored in that server in the UK.

When I download new music, I want the files to not go to my laptop in Australia, but directly to the server in the UK.

Is this set-up possible?

I will eventually have hundreds of terabytes of media files, so cloud-based storage such as Dropbox or OneDrive will not work.

If so, what do I need to get in order to make it so?

Thanks!!

so hundreds TB, NAS, Raid, with backup, server, web access, what your budget for this?

cloud based is going to be cheaper.

Thanks guys - so isn't a NAS device (usually) a one-off payment for unlimited web access to the files that fit into the hard-drive of the NAS unit?

And cloud-based services like Amazon Web Services/Dropbox/OneDrive are continual payments?

And is what I've outlined in my OP actually possible to do? Would a unit like the Asustor AS-202TE NAS be able to do it?

1. You have to pay continuing internet access at the UK location
2. If/when the UK machine has to be rebooted, who is going to do that?
3. To access it, you'll have to open up ports in your home router. Increasing a potential attack surface


And "hundreds of terabytes" ? What in the name of FSM are you storing?
