    Hey guys, I'm interested in having a storage drive that I can access from anywhere. I know there are network drives that can be accessed from your home wifi.. I don't have a home computer so I want to hook up the network drive to the router directly.. is there anything so that I can access the storage from any internet connection?

    You could use a NAS but you'd have work on proper security measures for that.

    So I can plug in a NAS directly into my router? I don't have a home pc. Sorry, I don't know much of this but I basically want to stream all my media from a NAS to wherever I have an internet connection, not through a home wifi network.. anywhere. What software would I need?
