What is network-attached storage (NAS)?

Network-attached storage (NAS) is a centralized file storage solution that lets multiple editors simultaneously work on video files over a network. 

What is the difference between NAS and local storage?

NAS is network-based and accessible remotely. Local storage is physically attached to a specific device and inaccessible over a network without additional setup.

Can you access NAS from anywhere?

You can access a NAS from anywhere if it is set up with remote access through a VPN or the NAS's remote access tools.

Is NAS better than cloud?

It depends. NAS gives you greater control and privacy, while cloud storage offers easier scalability and access from any location without additional setup.

Can a NAS be used as a server?

A NAS can function as a server for file sharing, media streaming, and backups.
