1.. "directly" from internet the best method is FTP or via http
2. cifs/smb is possible but for it to work u must be on "the same lan" , best method is to use VPN/pptp/l2tp to tunnel back to your home network/office network, nt sure abt webdev
3. if your talking about home user yes its a real B*** , but on unifi its alright/acceptable
thx for the reply, we can always use FTP + dyndns to reach our home pc right
then we can get our files
then why should we get a NAS?
if in LAN we can always use windows sharing or homegroup wat

My reasons to buy a NAS: First, I use a diskless MacBook Air with 128GB SSD. Not enough for me as a mobile photographer/videographer. Portable hard disks do crash (I already lost 2 that got banged around in the field) and I already have too much gear to carry so a private cloud was an ideal solution.
Second, I have to routinely access my stuff from different systems. Windows, Linux, MacOS, IOS and Android. Again, a NAS is an ideal solution for it.
By the way I've managed to solve the speed problem of accessing my home NAS. I just swapped Unifi's standard D-Link router for a gigabyte router, the TP-Link WR1043-ND. Now I can transfer a 16GB file in 30 minutes when previously it would take about 20 hours, possibly more. It was the network after all.
u access ur stuff in LAN only right? i personally think accessing NAS thru WAN is more important, as we can get our files when we are outside
dropbox/box/sugarsync etc is very slow
if in LAN, carrying a external usb3.0 hdd is not hard right? just a few steps away
and can use windows file sharing or homegroup right?

I am using Unifi 10MB at home and I can download the files from my NAS when I am at the office at speed around 1~2MB/s which is quite acceptable
that fast?
theoritically it should be 10Mb/8 = 1.25MBps Maximum
however TM only provide 80% efficiency throughput, so maybe it is just 1MBps?
what software did u use to download and measure?
becoz i am currently in korea now with average speedtest.net result of 60dl/40ul
however when i FTP back my home PC to get files
if i use firefox normal dl i just get around 2MBps
if i use xunlei i can get around 10MBps (probably wrong value)
edit: now i know why xunlei can get 10MBps, becoz it create 5 simultaenously connection to my FTP at home, each 1 dling at different parts
i vpn back home and transfer the share file, also around 2MBps only
