Because, to me, it make no sense whatsoever…

Is there anything that can be installed on a hdd that would create your own personal cloud device (that can be accessed over a network)?
I mean if you put those HDDs into like a synology NAS or something you could run nextcloud or syncthing or several other network hosting file tools.
Nice! Thanks!
Oh yeah. Get a cheap laptop, pi, or PC. Whip Linux and casaos on there. Instant web based environment for file access. Add jellyfin or Plex for media streaming. Setup a VPN service to access it remotely. Takes some googling but well worth it.
Cool! Thanks!
You can set up a “personal cloud” on a machine in your house that you can use as a “cloud” from anywhere. There are a lot of free software options to achieve such a thing.
“Nextcloud” it a pretty broad way to do that. You can run it from an always-on desktop.
There are a ton of nerds (myself included) who do this kinda thing, and we have our nerd communities on Lemmy and elsewhere. The general term is “self hosted”.
