Hi all,
My knowledge is very basic so please so please be kind!
So I currently have a WD My Cloud (about 6 yrs old) which I traditionally copy and paste pics/vids from mine and my wife's phones. Usually just plug our Samsung phones into my old laptop and drag and drop across.
Always used to have iTunes on the WD too, but tend to stream more now to my sonos system.
My laptop is close to dying so need a new solution.
Have tried the wd my cloud app on our phones but it never works - despite uninstalling, restarting, updating firmware etc. Have a Huawei work notebook but can't seem to get that connecting to enable me to drag and drop files either.
Basically I just need a NAS that will have all my stuff on so I can stream to TV, Sonos, phones/tablets and allows me to easily save photos/video on it once a month. If I could get one with a decent android phone app that meant I could cut out the middle man (laptop) that would be even better.
Do you guys have any advice as to a suitable NAS that would do these things or a way round my current predicament- really don't want to buy a new laptop as never use current one apart from this and only use work one for work (Microsoft office programs).
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
