Online self hosted drive for Windows?

Online self hosted drive for Windows, which works like a normal drive where I can install and run software from.. does this exist as self hosted solution?

Windows OS on a server? or...?

I am sure you mean something like WebDAV.

He wants WinNFS.

I want to have a server that has storage which can be used on a windows machine like any normal storage.

NFS
WebDAV
SMB

and lots more

Ugh can you imagine the latency/security issues of having SMB live across the 'net and not via VPN?

Given MS' recent issues with SMB protocols, you may be more safe just going NFS.

I prefer to blindly execute binaries as Administrator after disabling UAC.

While it's still not perfect, I find Seafile + Seadrive not too bad. Definitely better than WebDav...

SSHFS is more stable, but doesn't have the caching capabilities of Seadrive on Windows.

I am a big fan of iSCSI.
It is not point and click to setup, but it is perfect for my needs. You can even boot the whole OS out of it and run a diskless machine.
