A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/120778\/the-best-reasons-to-own-a-nas-device\/\">NAS device would get the job done for a few hundred dollars, but if you own an old Mac mini, you should try using it instead.<\/p>\n<p>This process is surprisingly easy. All you need to do is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-mini\/use-mac-mini-as-a-server-apd05a94454f\/mac\">enable File Sharing<\/a> on your Mac mini\u2014open System Settings, navigate to Sharing, and turn on File Sharing. From here, you can press the \u201c+\u201d button under the \u201cShared Files\u201d table to add shareable folders. (Shared folders will <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear in the \u201cNetwork\u201d section of macOS\u2019 Finder or Windows\u2019 File Explorer. You can adjust your settings to prevent unauthorized users from accessing shared folders.)<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can use your old Mac mini <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-help\/back-up-to-a-shared-folder-mchl31533145\/mac\">for wireless Time Machine backups<\/a>. Simply right-click one of your Mac mini\u2019s shared folders while in the Sharing menu, select \u201cAdvanced Options,\u201d and click \u201cShare as a Time Machine backup destination.\u201d It should appear as a Backup Disk in the Time Machine settings on your other macOS devices.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to access a Mac mini\u2019s shared folders outside of your home, you need to enable <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-za\/guide\/mac-help\/mchlp1066\/mac\">Remote Login<\/a>. Go back to your Sharing settings and turn on the \u201cRemote Login\u201d option. Then, specify which users can remotely access your Mac mini. (You may need to enable \u201callow full disk access for remote users,\u201d depending on your shared folder settings.)<\/p>\n<p>Note that remote access can increase your vulnerability to ransomware and hacking attempts. Important files or documents should be stored in multiple locations to ensure full redundancy\u2014backups can break!<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you use your Mac mini as a file server, you should give it a wired Ethernet connection. That\u2019ll provide much faster upload and download speeds than a Wi-Fi connection, especially if you access the Mac mini remotely.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mac_minis_Are_Perfect_for_Plex\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Mac minis Are Perfect for Plex<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118107\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1f21ba57.png\" alt=\"The Plex logo over an outdoor TV antenna.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/on-roof-private-cable-installed-television-1774713329\">MaXX12\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in file servers, consider turning your Mac mini into a fully-fledged media server. You could go down <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-mini\/use-mac-mini-as-a-server-apd05a94454f\/mac\">the official route<\/a> and enable the Media Sharing option in your Mac mini\u2019s \u201cSharing\u201d \u00a0settings, but I suggest installing Plex.<\/p>\n<p>Plex is a media server solution that allows you to build a custom streaming service. All you need to do is install Plex on your Mac mini\u2014from there, the software will automatically organize your movies, tv shows, and music. This media can then be accessed from the Plex web interface or the Plex app, which is available on all smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and streaming sticks.<\/p>\n<p>The Plex app feels similar to other media streaming apps, and it can be accessed outside of your home (by your friends or yourself) if you pay $5 a month for Plex Pass. (That said, I suggest testing the service\u2019s free membership before unlocking additional features with Plex Pass.)<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you follow Plex\u2019s installation instructions when setting everything up. This process is pretty easy, but only if you follow the instructions. Bear in mind that DRM-protected media, including movies purchased from Apple, don\u2019t work in Plex (unless you <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/291612\/how-to-remove-drm-from-itunes-movies-and-tv-shows\/\">remove the DRM<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_That_Mac_Into_a_Chromebook\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Turn That Mac Into a Chromebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-143649 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7269932f.png\" alt=\"A Mac mini running Chrome OS.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Apple, Google\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple, Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If your old Mac has trouble running macOS, you could always turn it into a Chrome OS machine. The Chrome OS software is incredibly lightweight, meaning that it works at high speed on \u201cunderpowered\u201d machines. And thanks to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chromeenterprise.google\/os\/chromeosflex\/\">Chrome OS Flex<\/a>, running Chrome OS on a Mac has never been easier.<\/p>\n<p>The Chrome OS Flex tool, which is developed by Google, only takes a few minutes to set up. All you need is a USB drive. Once you\u2019re done, your Mac will run a modified version of Chrome OS\u2014it doesn\u2019t support Android apps, and it isn\u2019t compatible with certain hardware components (particularly older stuff, like disc drives). But otherwise, it\u2019s the same experience you\u2019d expect from a \u201creal\u201d Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you could always install Linux on your old Mac mini. A good Linux distro like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/738172\/whats-new-in-linux-mint-202-uma\/\">Linux Mint<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/763775\/what-is-ubuntu\/\">Ubuntu<\/a> will get the job done and offer wide compatibility for hardware and peripherals.
