Keep your photos private! Set up your own at-home NAS cloud alternative

Most smartphone owners use the online storage (also known as cloud storage) services of Apple or Google for backing up their photos and accessing them from anywhere. Online services like Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Amazon Drive are similarly practical, allowing you to organize, access, and share photos, files, and other data online.

Almost all cloud services offer free entry-level plans, which are sufficient for small amounts of data but quickly become expensive as storage requirements increase.
