You can share a folder with a user group. If any member from the group shares the files in
the folder, other members can receive the file.
1. Create user accounts in the NAS for each group member.
2. Ensure that a Qsync Client is installed on each member’s device.
3. Right click on the folder you want to share in the local Qsync folder and click "Share this
folder as a team folder".
4. Select users from the list of local or domain users.
All of the members in the group will receive a file sharing invitation. Once accepted, the
group members can start accessing this shared folder.
Note:
 The team folder will only take effect after users accept their invitation.
 Users cannot share team folders that have been shared with them.
 Only the folders under /home on your NAS can be shared as a Team Folder.
Remote Access
Accessing the NAS over the Internet
To connect to a remote NAS (over the Internet), the administrator must first configure the
device name for the NAS in "myQNAPcloud". The administrator can then share the
myQNAPcloud address to allow users to access the remote NAS. (e.g.
[e-mail])
Note:
 A connection with a NAS over the Internet will be slower compared to a LAN
environment.
 As you switch back to a LAN-based NAS, ensure that you reconnect to the NAS via LAN
to get a better connection quality.
 To improve file transmission performance, it is recommended that you configure port
forwarding on the router.
Synchronizing photos and videos automatically
Qsync Central Station can synchronize your photos and videos from mobile devices to the
Qsync folder across all Qsync client devices.
Steps:
1. Install Qfile on your mobile devices by following instructions outlined on the Qsync
Central Station Overview page on the NAS or find it from your device’s app store.
2. Launch Qfile.
