Cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud are great for storing photos and smaller files, automatically backing up mobile devices on the fly, and keeping costs low with a simple monthly subscription. Network-attached storage (NAS) takes things to an entirely new level with advanced features, functionality, and no monthly fee, aside from electricity. Internet connectivity isn't always reliable and sometimes you don't want to rely on third-party companies to host sensitive data, so I recommend taking full control with a local NAS.
