My recommendation would be to not use Apple but if you can&#x27;t do that for whatever reason running your own Plex media server at home and installing the Plex app on your phone should be the next best thing.<p>I got a freenas box running at home where i keep all my conntent with plex media server running in a jail giving me access to my entrire library anywhere I am without having to worry that some miss click is going to destroy all my hard work.<p>Owncloud, Plex etc are a great replacement for the mainstream clud based services out there and you have full controll over them.<p>I would never give up controll over my data for the convenience of the cloud. It feels like gving up one of your findamental rights like the right to free speach to me.
