Hi All,

Not sure this is the right spot, but i’m helping a client who would like to host multiple TB of photos (over time). They’d be OK with a simple file server on their network, but external users need access also. What is the best way to setup a data storage server so users can connect/browse easily (cloud OR through file browser?). I looked up sharepoint, but it’s pricey at .10-.20c per gigabyte (after inital TB given included with Office365). Am i missing some obvious service where we could store 10TB of photos?

The reason i was leaning towards self hosted was using something like truenas or unraid, but i’m not 100% sure those play nicely over the internet. Client has a symmetrical 300mb business fiber. Thanks all.

edit: I was wondering if a Synology or QNAP might be a better idea? It’s a little hard to tell. I dont think there will be an excessive amount of users connecting at once to this device. Maybe 10 maximum simultaneously.
