I’m looking to store all my photos and videos taken with my phone, GoPro, drone and two cameras I use for photography. My storage is all over the place and I want to organize/simplify.
Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish:
All my pics and videos start out on my phone for editing before they get stored away eventually to a drive. Instead of plugging in and manually transferring from phone to HDD I’m wanting to back them up wirelessly from my phone and have them end up on a drive at home. I’d like to replicate copies to two or three drives at home when that happens. What do I need to achieve this? I’m imagining that 8tb would be more than enough space for me.
Right. So I don’t know what a docker is and I only recently learned what nas stood for.
What all equipment and software would I need to do what you’re saying?
A NAS is ”Network Attached Storage”. Basically a server for your home. First go to to synology.com and look for their consumer options and primarily their (included) software such as ”synology photos” and ”HyperBackup” and then go to the synology subreddit and search for ”DS423+” and/or ”DS923+” which should be your primary options unless you want to go cheap. There are several posts a day there from people contemplating those with a similar usecase as yours. That should get you started!
