I would need to think about this. There are times I need to look at photos from weeks ago, but not too often...
Moving over to the Synology would make it a LOT easier to switch OSs on my phone and not install any Google services. 🤔 Let me think more about this.
This of course presumes that you have a Synology disk station. They come in a variety of different models.
I'm surprised at how much I'm able to serve from my device. I use it for cloud storage, file thinking across devices, photo management and backup across devices, ebook management, running a game server for my family, running an evernote-like service, etc etc.
It's been really good to have full control over all my information and not have to pay ever increasing fees to various companies for various services.
I'm thinking of the DS423 for media, photos, and notes. No transcoding.
I've got the same hw in mine. Although I did buy and install ram to max it out. It's not the most powerful machine out there, but it's plenty enough for us.
Agreed, I want to have 8GB of RAM for sure. Thanks for the input. Now time to save up.
Good luck!
