Hi All,

I have decided to turn to reddit for suggestions/opinions regarding me setting up a NAS for my work. We are a family owned running company that puts on about 80 events a year and we have been using OneDrive as our main file sharing means since i started here years ago. This week we had yet another issue with the OneDrive that my boss pays for running into issues with files getting deleted and having to roll back our OneDrive to the beginning of the week loosing that week. That being said I was tasked with finding OneDrive replacement options that wont bankrupt my company and are something that my boss who is slightly less techy than I am be able to maintain after I leave the company.

Having said all of that there are some minimums things that we need and those are:

• We need to be able to access it remotely from our laptops and the other office just like we can with the OneDrive.

• We Need roughly 2 TB of storage

• While some money is able to be spent the less the better

• And ease of maintenance/setup and longevity are important.

Looking at all of this I was Looking at a Synology DS225+ nas with 2 either 4TB WD Red Plus drives or 4TB Ironwolf drives Everything I have heard is that the Synology software is better and easier to use but I was wanting others thoughts on this solution and if there is a better and hopefully cheaper option. Thanks again for all of the help.
