Hello everyone,

I am currently planning to leave Google Drive with all my data (currently “only” 90GB).

I like the idea of being able to access my data from everywhere though.

Due to how ISPs work where I live, I don’t have a fixed IP, except I pay a monthly fee for that and become a “business client”.

What do I need besides a NAS (or a Pi with an attached external HDD) to store and access my data?

I currently only have a Laptop and a Pi 3B + WD Elements I already use for Plex.

Plex has the “luxury” of auto-configuring my router and somehow mapping its IP so I can “just connect” from everywhere.

Is there something like that for storage?

What security measures should I consider?

    DynDNS with wireguard if you can port forward or tailscale if you can’t or are behind CGNAT.

      This. Can be stressfull as wireguard clients update the dns of the endpoint only when the tunnel is restarted. I use a vps inbetween my reverse proxy hat home (internet - vps wg - local wg vm - local reverse proxy)
