Actually it does. I have a nasPi running openmediavault with portforward and i can get access it anywhere in the world. Japan, usa, eu it doesn’t matter as long as there is internet.
Don’t wanna fiddle with the tech stuff. Get a Synology and make your life easier. Best thing is you can upgrade it yourself. No longer bound by 200gb or 1tb but all the way to 10tb and more! With redundancy as well. No this not an ad for Synology but damn does it work good.
What you’re saying is technically true but do you know what was a horrible experience?
A few weeks ago when I, in Japan, needed to download many 5+ Gb project files I had backed up on my home server in the US after a hard drive failure and I was hamstrung by my shitty domestic up speed limit.
At least with large web file hosts like Google, iCloud, and mega you’re not restricted by your inferior domestic upload speeds. Being able to access the server from anywhere is only half the battle
Or you could rent a server from a hosting provider and keep your data there. Not as safe and private as self hosted, but still better than google drive or similar.

This is just you being a contrarian and rubbing Google’s shoulders.
How is acknowledging a bad connection by your ISP contrarian? Are you saying his problems do not exist?
