Our Vision

There are many examples online of how to setup a Raspberry Pi as a Network Attached Device (NAS) and that’s great if you want to spend the time doing all the work yourself

We wanted to create an image to download and copy to an SD card that would “just work” without making any changes
So we have done all the hard work for you and created an image for the you to simply download and use

Ultimately we wanted to provide you with a Cloud storage solution where you know where your Files and Data are stored!
