jnelsoninjax Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Is it possible to use cloud storage as a NAS? I have unlimited space from Amazon, and wondered if it is possible to share it among the other attached computers? Can it be done, and if it can, how do I go about setting it up?

+BudMan MVC Posted October 6, 2015 MVC Share Posted October 6, 2015 Do you have a folder on your machine where the files.. Then yeah you could share that out to other computers on your network.. Or are you talking just on a web? And no copies local? You could use maybe something from stablebit their new cloud drive https://stablebit.com/CloudDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kachan64 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I'll give you some tips: On your PC, you have to be connected to a workgroup of some kind. This also applies to the PC you share files with and then sharing tab is where you need to fiddle. But this may not be what you after. @Haggis Yes, you can pretty do the same with iCloud/Google Drive etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Technically Cloud Storage is a NAS isn't it? Computer 1 > Internet (network) < Computer 2 I'm not sure I see the problem here that you are looking for a solution to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 @Xendrome, All I was wondering was how to share the cloud storage with everyone on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted October 6, 2015 Veteran Share Posted October 6, 2015 cloud is just a fun new catchy term to describe storage that isn't local. you can have a personal "cloud" this could be referred to as a NAS device, a server, anything that you store stuff on locally you can have a internet based "cloud" like drop box or skydrive or whatever else. cloud is just a stupid name somebody came up with for storage that is not on your local comuputer. There are many more types of "clouds" but I won't get into it here. This is not a new technology it just has a dumb name that people think is new and great.
