I forgot to say that I also pay for 2TB iCloud storage so I don't have to remove any of my photos from iCloud. I do actually enjoy iCloud, but I don't trust them as sole owners of my data.
Crikey! Nice setup. Feel like I'm more aligned with you on this one where I don't want to put my data in the hands of someone who can both use it and lose it... I've got my NAS in the office but might look into a setup for the whole family
