I’ve used these kinds of disks in my NAS at least since 2017 with no issues. Just test thoroughly before using.

The ones I usually carry around to introduce people to good boardgames are: Hive Portable it can get as complicated as chess, but is really easy to pick up for kids and adults.

I used to use Dropbox, but switched to Nextcloud years ago.
