I didn’t intend to do this experiment, but my month-long trip away from home forced me to shut down my NAS for a good few weeks. What I expected to be a temporary inconvenience ended up feeling… normal. The NAS is such an ingrained part of my local file access workflow that I assumed I’d miss it immediately, but with a portable SSD in my hand and Google Drive practically moving everywhere with me, I had little reason to think about my home setup at all.

For the most part, everything just worked, although there were still a couple of moments where a local network storage solution would have been more suitable.
