    2 Macs - "best of both worlds" NAS / DAS - AFP vs NFS re permissions

    Our family has 2 iMacs and I want us to be able to use either one of them and have access to all of our files the same way as if they were on a local drive / DAS. So, I bought a QNAP Thunderbolt NAS (perhaps overkill ;-) because that's exactly one of the scenarios they advertise (having a NAS...

    APFS and NAS (Synology)

    Hi, Pardon my question if this seems too basic... I am currently using a NAS Synology to share and store all my files (pictures, movies mainly). What will be the impact of upgrading to High Sierra? Will it still be compatible or should I wait Synology to release a new file system? Chris

    Best ATV app for playing music from NAS?

    I use Infuse to play all my movies & TV shows from my QNAP NAS and it works brilliantly. Sadly, it doesn't offer a music playback capability. I can use QNAP's own QMusic app - but it's pretty clunky. I'm reluctant to set a Plex server capability up for just music. I know Plex can do movies...

    Can the Photo's library be moved to a NAS drive?

    My MacBook Pro 250GB SSD is full and its mostly photos and videos. Is it possible to point the Photo's app to store its library on a NAS drive? This would release 3/4 of my local Mac storage and still allow me to use the Photo's app as my interface which I like.
