For (1), why not have all your devices sync up when they are on your local wifi network? If your phone automatically backs up to your NAS, and syncs with your home desktop, your data should always be up to date and backed up in multiple places. Then if you really have to sync while not being at home, you could do something over ssh/using a vpn.
- EamonnMR 6y agoThat's a great idea, have you got recommendations for specific apps to use? Also, what's the setup for backing up your NAS?
- intrasight 6y agoI have a Synology, and use their "DS File" iOS app to backup all of my photos. And scheduled backup jobs on desktops. Great peace of mind. I backup my NAS to Backblaze and to a local USB drive plugged into the NAS. I'm on my 2nd generation of Synology and am a very happy customer.
- jeswin 6y agoVery few people have a NAS. Even among the tech literate, there aren't that many people who use SSH or VPN. If this isn't transparent to the user, you'll see very marginal adoption.
- intrasight 6y agoIs that really true? Are there tech-literate folks that don't have a NAS and use VPNs? If so, count me surprised. How would you BitTorrent without a NAS configured with VPN?
- omnimus 6y agoWith your computer without VPN? Tech-literate doesnt mean hacker. Most people dont know what NAS is.
- intrasight 6y agoI understand that there is a spectrum of tech-literate. Perhaps I'm on the "hacker" end of that spectrum. I've mentored my tech-literate friends on the other end of the spectrum, and got them comfortable enough to acquire a NAS and setup a VPN.
- pwdisswordfish0 6y agoWhat if I told you that the world is bigger than your subculture? Why do you automatically assume that someone uses BitTorrent, for example? Your comment reminds me of the dark time in our past when people who used Visual Studio just assumed that everyone else used it, too.
