I am setting up my NAS right now, and I need some suggestions for apps that I can run on my NAS or self-host.
-
I have seen some online articles, but they are too confusing because they list too many apps for each category.
-
I want backup apps for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. (It would be great if they could back up automatically).
-
I want to sync my calendars and contacts.
-
I want to download media like TV shows and movies. (And music, too). “Of course, only legal obtained from the internet cough.”
-
I want apps that let me access my data from anywhere.
-
I saw this cool thing where you could use a Raspberry Pi to access your NAS bios from your PC.

Brother ADS-1700W (edit: now that’s the exact model)
Tiny,fast, scans double-sided straight to a network share. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve bought in years, literally.
Since I have this exact problem and need… I went looking. By any chance did you mean the Brother ADS 1700W? If I’m going to take recommendations from strangers on the internet, I want to be sure I get it right. =)
Yes! Sorry for giving wrong details. That was from memory, and I am a goldfish…
The printer has a web interface where you set up destinations, and I set up a file path there. Separately, on the printer itself, you can set it up to do one action automatically when it detects material in the auto sheet feeder, and I used that so it auto-scans to PDF/A and saves it on that network share.
Then I have Paperless check that path once a minute. So my workflow is literally, drop the paper in the scanner, and 5 seconds later put it in a box, then a minute later I see it in Paperless. It’s bliss.
I have just ordered a Brother ADS 1700W. You’ve convinced me!
Congratulations! I think you’ll love it. There are some things to set up. Let me know if you have questions :-)
