Hi. We've been trying to make a secure storage and remote file transfers from certain individuals/companies. Right now, we are only using the usual email. Files being shared are just documents and not large videos or anything, but they are highly confidential so security is a must. So far, I've thought of 3 possible options:
Option 1: Cloud based File Server Storage. So far this seems to be the easiest although I understand that there are recurring service fees for these. Encrypting the file before uploading to the Cloud seems to solve the security issue with the Provider that might sniff into the contents. I have heard of Egnyte but need to research some more.
Option 2: On premise NAS (Synology) + Quickconnect - Basically no port forwarding needed on firewall as Synology will initiate the connection and data will use 443 port when using HTTPS. Downside is I saw some posts saying Quickconnect is not usable sometimes? Have any of you have some experience with this?
Option 3: Offline NAS + VPN - This is probably the most secure although more complex and I have no prior experience in setting this up. If this is to be done, this should be in a entirely separate network right because the remote users must not have access to anything aside from the NAS. How hard will it be to set this up? Any Firewall+VPN device recommendation I can look into?
So far, these are the options I've thought of. Any advice from you guys? Thanks!
