While I've been a forum member for some months, I have only fully setup my TrueNAS system in the last two weeks. I have to admit that after an early trial of FreeNAS I tried Unraid but came back to FreeNAS because it has very useful functions like Cloud Sync and generally seems to be stable and well supported. I have found the forum and its members very helpful.
My aim is for family members and I to use it both to offload large file collections (like OneDrive) and to share some files. We mainly use Office, photo managers and music. With that aim, I have built a fairly high capacity system -- a good motherboard and plenty of disks.
Having settled on TrueNAS I am now looking forward to making good use of its functions and enjoying the experience. I had a long career in corporate IT and have built and used Windows and Mac systems since the '90s. But I am very much a newbie in Linux and NAS.
