Heyah !
So it's a weird question, I hope I'm at the right place.
I'm pretty much looking for help / feeback after some bad experiences.
Pretty much, I'm somebody who moves a lot (Hey, I've concerts and everything right ?) and uses multiple PC. After some time, I've had in mind the idea to build a PC that would be working with Unraid and that way have a server to put all my files in. For storage, for security but also to be able to enjoy everything in one place.
I did it, spent too much money on it imo, but everything was working almost well. I started to had some issues about files not running well etc (I had a dream idea where I could just throw everything there, install games etc and call it a day), and started to had a feeling that maybe it was not the best idea to do that setup.
Yesterday, after some holidays. No way to have Unraid to work. Based on what i've seen, the mainboard died. 4 months. That's quite painful if you ask me. And I really lost hope and motivation on that one.
And I realize that maybe I was needing something else. I was looking to buy some VPN services, when I saw that NordVPN was giving a Cloud solution... For 1TB. So I was like "maybe it's the thing I need ? It could fit better my needs ?"
After some researches, i've found IceDrive which interest me a lot. I'd like to buy something like 3TB for a lifetime period, and have a better setup what I've. The idea would be to sell the server i've (at least the part) to get some money back and afford this.
But is it really better ? I don't have a lot of big files, so 3TB would be more than enough and would be able to sync with ALL my PCs.
Thanks for the help o/
