But currently they're in the cloud. I pay for a lot of storage though (both to icloud and google), so I can continue with that for awhile! Lol.

I should likely do a thorough review and consolidate my cloud storage.

It rides your local network only, so it goes from NAS to your wireless router (via a physical connection, not wireless), and then from the wireless router to your laptop via WiFi, and has nothing to do with your Internet speed, unless you choose to set up the external access or the mobile app access that I talked about.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-42341324347643687942020-11-30T10:45:52.167-05:002020-11-30T10:45:52.167-05:00You're totally right about that part!

I've been considering NAS for a while now, already have a 2TB drive, so this is perfect.<br /><br />Quick question; will the NAS device ride your wireless network's speed or your internet speed? My internet speed is garbage but we have a good router. (So - does it use the internet to talk to your computer - or just connect over wifi to other devices?)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-21915135435959576542020-11-30T10:27:13.371-05:002020-11-30T10:27:13.371-05:00Lol, that's a valid strategy too, which is why...Lol, that's a valid strategy too, which is why I qualified that you only need to go down the NAS rabbit hole if you really want to keep all those videos. Mainly Pivo people (judging from the Facebook group) need to learn how local storage and cloud storage works, and how to delete files off their phones, if that's all people take away from this post, I succeeded.<br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-65511140143237835572020-11-30T10:20:38.384-05:002020-11-30T10:20:38.384-05:00This hurt my brain, you're way smarter than me...This hurt my brain, you're way smarter than me when it comes to tech stuff. I just cut the videos down on my phone into the chunks I want to keep, sew them together in Splice, and then upload to Vimeo or Drive and make GIFs from there lol. The sad, lazy person's solution. Yours is much more thorough.

If you're only using it for cold storage that you won't access often, and you're not playing videos off of it, you're definitely fine with a slower/cheaper one. File transfers will take eons and scrolling through the photos won't be fast either, but they will be safe.<br /><br />I didn't want to get this far into the weeds in the post, but for absolute safety especially with media you care about, consider backing the NAS up to a cloud service too once you're done, so that you have redundancy within the device but also your stuff is safe from a house fire. Not every cloud service will back up a NAS, so I use Backblaze B2 for this, it costs me I think $6/month for the license plus less than a quarter a month for around 300GB? of data.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-64097212587821557432020-11-30T09:49:53.325-05:002020-11-30T09:49:53.325-05:00Thanks for this post!

I have a digital SLR, so to keep file size and quality, I run out of options quickly. I also have an ancient Mac that needs to be backed up. Guess who is going shopping for a NAS today? lolLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940386405998853917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-66330148081246841812020-11-30T09:03:56.518-05:002020-11-30T09:03:56.518-05:00Awesome, so glad it helped!

Especially with Google Photos changing their storage policy next year, most users will only get 15GB free, which for me would be like five Pivo videos, so it goes fast. I already pay for 200GB/month for Google Photos just to store photos + Google Drive stuff + Gmail, I don't want to upgrade to the 2TB/month plan unless I have to.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-969077034876550662020-11-30T08:43:32.168-05:002020-11-30T08:43:32.168-05:00This was so timely, thank you!!

Based on the $900 Facebook pony blog I just bought a Pivo on a black friday deal and was already wondering how fast it was going to eat through my Google photos storage.
