I hate Google but realistically, the chance of Google losing data is definitely higher than the chance of me losing data in my NAS. That is if either one is the sole copy of said data. Again, realistically, Google Drive, for most people, is the storage. People trust (and for good reason) that Google will take care about backup (all the client-side problems that might arise being out of bound for most people’s comprehension). I don’t blame users using GD as a sole storage in that regard. Sure, they could’ve done better, but if they’re paying for it(and even if they’re not), it should be expected that the data is available without no (significant) downtime.
I have a few questions about a home NAS, if you don’t mind. I see a lot of love for both Synology and NextCloud. Which do you prefer? Also, do you think it’s worth having NextCloud on a cloud machine? How do you access your NextCloud instance outside your home network?

I use Nextcloud btw.
