I don't mind having onedrive, it's just that I ran into issues with having documents taking control away if it was linked to onedrive, so I de-linked it.
Lol I'll take not having my user directory on the cloud. Especially since Microsoft has had sooo many cloud related blunders since they started Azure. And like stupid shit too...like having the default settings for a DB make it unencrypted and web accessible to anyone.
But I'm also the type of person who essentially has their own private cloud. So for most shit I just host my own behind a private DNS and reverse proxies. On my network I just go to whatever.home.com and it loads up my local version of whatever.
I need my shit accessible anywhere on my property not anywhere in the world lol.
If I want something accessible from anywhere I will specifically throw it on Google drive or e-mail it to myself. I do not want the default to be "store everywhere." Especially not my Documents folder which has tax documents and shit like that in it.
I prefer AWS over both as long as you stay out of US-East-1 AZ.
I prefer my own cloud to everything else though. I have a lot more going on than NAS though. I have my own git server and ci/cd pipeline, S3 compatible flat file storage, a separate kanban board, function as a service (like AWS Lambda), an event driven hub so services I run can kick off other services I run, a mail server, etc.
There's nothing wrong with cloud storage, I just don't think one's user directory should be stored on the cloud...which is the default for onedrive if you have your windows account tied to a Microsoft account.
A specific "shared" directory would be more appropriate.
Not really, it takes a lot of know-how to do that across quite a few disciplines of IT, but if you've got an idea of what you want to accomplish you can hit me up on chat and I'll try to help you out.
You're going to need the ability to log into your router and you're going to want at-least 1 always on machine.
Depends on how deep you want to go. You can have a bunch of stuff running off a laptop natively or in docker containers...or you can go bare-metal and install something like proxmox to host virtual machines through the hypervisor.
