A:AnswerAssuming you are in Wndows . . . ??? IF you are on the same network hub (i.e., you and the NAS are hanging off the same router) try the following...
Find the IP address for the NAS ... it might be something like 192.168.1.123<- you probably set this up at some point when you were accessing the boxes' front end administrator page ...
HOWEVER do NOT use a browser in this next part. Instead open a window where you might typically view your local hard drive
In there find a dropdown menu for TOOLS > Map Network Drive ...
the server is \\192.168.1.123\ <-i.e., the same IP as the NAS. The share ... is well the Share ... the folder you have set up for access on your NAS
So maybe you might map to your Z drive \\129.166.1.123\MyShare
When you try that -- if you have it password protected (and please do) -- a pop-up should appear asking you for the user name and password. Enter that.
THEN when successful (and you might have to try to a few combinations -- I recall something was hinkey about how the user name and the share mapped here (but I could be wrong -- and the password will be the password associated with the share on the drive -- not the share on the website ... they can be two different things [PAIN!]), but ... once you get it -- you can use that drive just like it was part of your computer -- without going thru anything. If you are hard wired into the same GB router as the NAS, your access times will rock -- as in USB competitive (wireless add overhead that really slows things down).
OF COURSE when done, close all windows, right click on the drive -- and disconnect -- to leave everything orderly. and if hanging -- log of / shut down.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerThe drive should work fine on an older PC so long as it has a spare USB port. Please note that the transfer performance speed for the hard drive depends on the speed of the USB port it is connected to. On an 8 year old PC you will have USB v1 (11mb/sec) or v2 (480mb/sec). This drive is able to transfer at much much faster speeds when connected to a USB v3 port.
A:AnswerDon't allow it Internet access and restrict backups and access only to the local network. These are all options during set up. I o Lynda use mine to connect local, no internet access.
A:AnswerYes. Using WiFi you should be able to transfer photo data between the two. However, my experience is that while this would be acceptable for small files a large file like on the higher end cameras (i.e., 32G, 64G, & 128G) the Wireless Pro takes an unacceptable large period of time for the transfer. I returned my unit because of this slow file transfer speed.
A:AnswerGood to have an external storage to keep copies. Trust 3 copies,.. PC, External Drive or NAS and a Cloud Service. If you copy the folders over each time that will work or you can have things automatically sync with some software.
A:AnswerI had the same issue. Also never was certain when the transfer was complete as sometimes the screen with the photos didn't automatically update with the new files. Personally I don't see why transferring the to a PC would be any better as tablets, cell phones, and PCs all use the same transfer process. I believe there is a bug in the Pro software that is causing this as I don't get missing photos when transferring photos with any of my other devices. Also I find that the transfer speed is unacceptable for large file sizes like 32G or 64G photo memory cards.
A:Answeryes you can, if you download the app My Cloud, it is supposed to automatically upload the photos as you take them but it seems a bit buggy so you may have to do it manually sometime
A:AnswerIt will appear as a shared folder in the UNC path. You would also be able to map it as a drive if you wish to. All depends on the permissions you apply to the share.
