I own a small digital marketing agency and our current network setup is a wireless network with a WD my cloud home attached directly to the router wired via ethernet.
We use this drive for all storage while in the office and people can use it from home.
It just appears on their machines as another drive and works quite well.
We can give customers access to shared folders so they can download and upload images and video.
Sometimes it can be a little slow working on it from home but its not the end of the world.
This drive currently has zero backup which is madness!
I need another solution. Do you guys have any recommendations?
I know I could get some sort of traditional NAS enclosure and connect this to the router but I wouldn't be able to give customers access to the files in the same way, would I?
Also when the staff are working from home it wouldn't work as a drive on their computer in the same way, would it?
I know that WD do a bigger My cloud Pro product which might be the answer but I'm still not sure how to auto backup with this.
I also dont want to go the Dropbox\google drive etc route as its just not as quick as having the drive on site while in the office.
I feel like I am missing something really obvious with using a normal NAS for this....
Anyone have any pointers?
