Cloud storage, using linux or windows
Over the years i have played around with Network attached storage devices like ones provided by iomega which have cloud computing features built in meaning i can acces my data anywhere in the world. I have also set up a windows based machines with hardrives connected to it which i can access through rdp or by connecting to a network drive.
What i was wondering is if there is a way for me to set up a computer in my house using windows or linux and use it as storage while im in work or at friends house, basically i would like to be able to add files to it easily and get files off it easily and if i was able get files from in onto my android phone that would be even better. I have come up with a solution like this in the past, but its a pain always having to either vpn or rdp into my network to connect a drive to it remotely. I guess a web based application would be the best. I have seen in the past linux operating systems which solve many great NAS problems and i was wondering if anyone had anything they could recommend for me?
