Make your own private cloud

Weekend project · Use what you have · Easy

Set up a private place to sync and share your own files across your devices. Start at home and get backups working before considering remote access.

Do it

  1. Choose a machine with reliable storage.
  2. Install private file-sync or sharing software.
  3. Create accounts for the people who will use it.
  4. Add a test folder from a phone or computer.
  5. Set up backups and use strong, unique passwords before exposing it to the internet.

What next?

Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
