Hi Erik, Is this tonido personal cloud only a windows product or is it mac also?
Does it have a cost or is it freeware? And when you say all media is available in the cloud is that video and audio or just audio? Wil it also work across multiple machines? I've got approx. 25TB across 4 servers and would like to have it available on demand The only other thing I've seen and used is Emby which doesn't appear to bad overall -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Erik Burggraaf Sent: Thursday, 21 June 2018 12:17 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: NAS from Synologie or WD MyCloud For myself, I have a very interesting setup. I started with a mediasonic ProBox, which currently has 18 or 20 tb I was originally going to power it with a Raspberry Pi. I had the setup I wanted about 90% complete, when I hit a major snag with my hard drives, and couldn't get it resolved. then I went out and bought a Windows 10 Micro PC for $150. This is a piece of plastic about the size of an Apple TV, with all of the features of a full PC. The memory in this thing is low for practical purposes. I scrimped because I wanted it exclusively for a file server, and for that single purpose, it works very well. Then I installed tonido personal cloud and pointed it at my drives. Now I have access to all my data in the cloud. So, I can play audiobooks and music on my home server while on long car trips, and my family and friends can get in and listen as well. The tonido server web interface leaves much to be desired but with patience it can all be done. The IOS and android apps are accessible. They were not totally user friendly when I started, but for my purposes they now work well. I've spotted a new micro with double the ram for about $200, and I'm considering the upgrade. As with most people I make recommendations for, I am finding that I sit on the file server and try to perform tasks it wasn't really intended for and doesn't really have the giddyup to handle. This may be overkill for most people's purposes, but now it's set up, I really enjoy it. Best, Erik On June 20, 2018 12:43:34 AM Jürgen Fleger <mailinglis...@fleger.net> wrote: Thanks Eric.
