iPad, iPhone photos, WiFi hard drive Question ?

[Wish]

I am looking for a device that my wife can save her photos from her iPad and iPhone onto without having to plug it in to anything. Stored within the house, so nothing away in a cloud.

Would a WiFi hard drive work ? Any advise on the best one to buy ?

Something she can send too without any hassle once set up. Any idea would be great.

To straight away recommend what you specifically don’t want, but why not subscribe to iCloud storage then it does all that without hassle!

I’m old and like to know where my stuff is.

I want it within the walls of the home. Can you suggest anything ?

I have a 3tb wd mycloud and additionally I purchased a wd 3tb mybook and scheduled weekly backups so I have everything backed up twice in my house.

All devices are set to back up new photos and videos whenever on WiFi, both at home or when away.

Works great on both Android and iOS. App works well to view it all and so does the desktop Windows app as well as viewing as a network drive. Each user has their own log in to their own area.

That sounds idea . Is it easy to set up for different users and eeekly updates ?
Do you have links to the WiFi hard drive ?

The users are all easy to setup and control via the admin portal which is an based. The scheduled backups are a one time admin setting and then it's fully automated.

You can pay more if you want 4, 6 or even 8tb but tbh I've had mine for 2 years with 4 users backing up photos and videos as well as 3 X full pc backups and and 200 films with I access via smart TV and I've year to fill 1tb.

Thank you for the info. Sounds just what I’m looking for.

Another question. Does the cloud box have to been attached by wire directly to the router as I’ve got a sky router and the sockets are full on the back with Hive and CCTV.

Can the cloud box be wireless to both sky router and iPads ?

Don’t worry if the sockets on the router are full. You can buy something called a switch to plug into one of the sockets and give yourself more ports. By daisychsining off it you give yourself more ports that will all work as if directly on the router itself e.g.
