Not really, you can even build your own with a freeNAS or any other OS.
But for home users that do not want to complicate with installing/configuring NAS OS, a Qnap or Synology are straight away configured and you can use it as a personal "cloud" wherever you are, even as a private youtube if you like.
I've running several NAS in the last 15 years and never have the need to buy any "cloud service", always using my private NAS on private domains (out of others eyes) and barely sharing files only with few well known users if were needed.
Plenty of tutorials about NAS on internet of any flavor.
