Migrating 1 terabyte of files from OneDrive to Nextcloud
I think the author misrepresented the NAS option a bit. I have the same Sinology DS220j and from my experience, you definitely do not need to constantly install&#x2F;manage software, configure network access and renew certificates. Yes, these tasks pop up every now and then, but I don&#x27;t think you can say you&#x27;re &quot;very busy&quot; with something that takes 1 hour&#x2F;year.<p>There are also significant benefits of running your own NAS - no big tech company has your documents, and they can&#x27;t lock you out on a whim (such as if your Google or Microsoft account gets suspended for sometimes unfair reasons). The access speed is much higher with the data on LAN, and therefore there&#x27;s little need to keep the data duplicated on your machine. And you have offline access. Security options are generally better than with most cloud providers - you can configure the firewall to deny access to anyone but whitelisted IPs, or do the many other things you can do if you own your firewall.<p>Finally, it&#x27;s not true to say that all of your files would be gone on a NAS if something happened to the server. This goes back to the saying about data copies &quot;two is one and one is none&quot;. You can set up backups to another NAS overnight, or use one of the cheap cloud storage services not meant for random access like Backblaze B2. Of course, the NAS itself is vulnerable physically - if it gets caught in a fire, stolen, or flooded for example.
