I have a Netgear N750 cable modem with USB 2.0 ReadyShare.
I can set it up so I have access to my files locally and from the web, it just requires the correct IP address and that is why I never really used it, it does not sound secured enough.
What I would like to do is centralizing all our household files on a single drive that any device can access (laptop, desktop, iOS, Android, Roku) and remotely (personal cloud).
Technically the ReadyShare drive can do that so for less than $300 I could set up a 4TB mirrored cloud storage or even less by reusing my desktop drives which currently have all the data.
The other option I was thinking about is a Synology DS216Play or DS216+II which with 2 NAS HD will set me back between $550 and $650 but I feel this should be more secured
although I don't really know as I never used either before.
Looking for expert opinions, thank you in advance.
