Even if you accidentally lose your smart phone, don't worry about it! Because your data has already been safely stored on the QNAP device at home with myQNAPcloud, and those files will never get lost.

myQNAPcloud strives to ensure that you can access files on the QNAP device anytime, anywhere. It's a fluent experience.

With the web-based file management on the myQNAPcloud website, you can easily upload, download, move, copy, and more. Or just click to share them to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Weibo. If you have more than one QNAP device, you can streamline your management with myQNAPcloud, as with only one interface can manage multiple QNAP device.

Even if you computer is suddenly damaged, or your phone goes for a swim, your data is always safe on a QNAP device. And unlike with public cloud services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, the private cloud provided by a QNAP device has no privacy or security concerns and provides a safe, reliable area for your files.

myQNAPcloud Service provides remote access solutions for users who purchase QNAP products to access their device via the Internet. Accessing a server outside a local area network (LAN) environment can sometimes be a headache with the time & effort needed to set up complicated port forwarding settings on the router.

To solve this problem, myQNAPcloud Service provides an "Auto Router Configuration" function to help users configure the router automatically as long as a user has registered a QNAP ID and has signed it into QTS (the QNAP device). But there are still some limitations: for example the router should support UPnP function. So we come to another solution called "myQNAPcloud Link".

myQNAPcloud Link is the best remote access service provided by myQNAPcloud that allows you to connect to your device via the Internet using the myQNAPcloud website (www.myqnapcloud.com). No complicated port forwarding settings on the router are required: just install myQNAPcloud Link App on device App Center and sign in QNAP ID on your device. Then you can access files from the myQNAPcloud website. myQNAPcloud Link will select the best connection for you according to your network environment. In addition to the web-based connection, myQNAPcloud Link also allows you to connect to your QNAP device with QNAP Mobile Apps Qfile, Qmanager and the PC utility Qsync. myQNAPcloud Link makes remote connectivity so easy.
