How I turned a forgotten phone into a fully functional NAS

If you’re like me, you may have a few old phones lying around. While you can sell your old phone or trade it in, you could also take on a project to learn more about how your phone’s operating system works by turning it into a retro game emulator, a webcam, or even a network attached storage (NAS) device. I decided to see if I could turn both an old iPhone and an old Android phone I had lying around into a NAS, and while a phone isn’t the strongest device to be made into a NAS, it was a fun and occasionally frustrating project that taught me a lot about my old devices.
