I have network storage. That’s it.

I want to watch anime? I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC. I want to listen to music while on my walk? I open Solid Explorer on my phone and play the MP3. I want to read ebooks? I just open the file in whatever reader app I want.

I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend.

What am I missing out on? Anyone else run their NAS like this?

Thanks all.

      Sorry short hand for tiny/mini/micro. Lenovo tiny, dell micro, and HP mini, some generic used, some I grab from work after their desktop life is done.

      Great little workhorses
