How are "consumer" home "cloud" devices set up?
I don't know if I can call them "NAS" or whatnot, definitely not simple USB storage...
Can you access them from the internet? How does it do name service? Automatic NAT? Requires the manufacturer's website to access your home device?
On the home network, do they show up as Windows shares? DAV shares?
If it's not what you want, what do you prefer? Assuming your home network is serviced by a NAT router... do you *want* to punch holes in your NAT router to access your cloud device from the outside world? Or is this even a concern, just want NAS for all your home devices and home devices only?

<-- all Linux at home, so Apache/NFS/NBD does everything needed...for now, but looking out for other possibilities...
