Synology and QNAP seem to be the go-to for NAS boxes these days, so start there.Īlso consider RAID or mirroring inside the box, and backups. Or just pulling random words out of your butt and having IT helpers make a mess of things. You're either waaaaay behind the times (like 25 years behind) or getting your info from someone who is. I mean this nicely but you need to (re)evaluate your information and thought process on this. Every single 'feature' OP is asking for exists in Google Drive already (and is excellent). Even SFTP (SecureFTP) is pretty terrible compared to Google drive. He should be ashamed for this idiocy.ĮDIT: To the boss that reads this - FTP is terrible on every level. Obviously you're more of an IT Helper but this is the sort of 'boss' and company you need to run far away from.

It will also be way more confusing to users since Windows doesn't gracefully handle FTP or SFTP. It would be like ripping out fiber internet and putting in a 1200 baud dial-up modem from 1991. You'd be going from a modern BMW to a Hyundai pony. At the bare minimum, SFTP is an improvement there.īut even if you were using SFTP that's still miles behind a modern solution like Google Drive. Everything about it is plain-text (unencrypted), so it's inherently very insecure. This is so cringeworthy it makes me think it's a troll post. Are there any recommendations for a physical product that can accomplish all of this? I saw this Western Digital NAS on Amazon, will it work? The only thing I can't seem to figure out is if I can add multiple users on this, as it seems to be a 'personal cloud'. Need only about 1TB of storage, wouldn't mind more.The server needs to be accessible from outside the office network as most employees are working from home.
Occasionally will need to create users for clients that need access. There will also be some folders that only admins can view. Needs to have shared folders that every user can view.Should be able to perform all operations through built in file explorer (map network drive function I believe).Every user should have their own folder with their own login.
Hi all, I've been designated as the temporary sysadmin at my company (~15 employees), and require some guidance.Ĭurrently, all of our files are on Google Drive, but we would like to switch to a physical server that can be connected to via FTP, as the boss tells me that is the "industry standard".
