What in the world is a NAS
I put my stuff on a cloud, so there. Some stuff I might put on some discs also here and there. That is the extend of what I am capable off. I don't know lynux, I have no clue how to make my own cloud, or probably the money even if I knew how. I know my husband knows all that stuff. Its part of his living. But that doesn't mean its gonna help me with my stuff.
We had or have a external drive. It died a horrible death. All on it was gone, poof. All my music is still happily living on the amazon cloud. Most of that music is from CD's old mp3's and new bought amazon mp3. All the discs are in a box. Who knows if they all still work at some point. Some of them I brought with me when I immigrated to the US 20 years ago.
I think if all clouds and all virtual stuff goes poof, I'll have bigger issues to deal with than if I can still listen to "Nena".
I do what I can and I have hard copies in a box, but I do rely on my cloud and so far so good. It is why I want to pay a service, a long standing well known service. Amazon is what I pay right now. I wouldn't mind Dropbox if they had a different plan. They are established at they work. But they don't have a plan for me so Amazon it is.
