CloudLink
CloudLink is an innovative service provided by QNAP for remote access to your NAS over the
network without changing router settings - even if UPnP is not supported. After you enable
the service (click the switch on the blue banner to enable/disable the service) the direct
access link will be shown on the page and you can provide this link to your friends for them
to access to your NAS, using their mobile device or computer.
Access Control
This function allows you to control who can search for your device and access published NAS
services on the myQNAPcloud website or with mobile apps remotely via CloudLink. The
following options are available:

Public: Everyone can search for your device on the myQNAPcloud website and access
your public services.

Private: Only you can access your NAS remotely on the myQNAPcloud website or with
mobile apps via CloudLink.

Customized: You can specify who is allowed to access your device on the myQNAPcloud
website or with mobile apps by entering their registered accounts here. Or you can add
email addresses of your friends who are not currently myQNAPcloud members to send
them an invitation. To set access controls, first set the "Device access controls" to
"Customized", then click "Add" to add QID account holders.
SSL Certificate
myQNAPcloud SSL certificates are used to provide secured connections between the NAS
and web browsers, providing authorization and connection encryption. Encrypted
connections secure data and transactions. Before installing a myQNAPcloud certificate, an
error may occur when you try to connect to your NAS using HTTPS (for example:
https://nossl.myqnapcloud.com.) The data transmitted in the connection is not protected
against security threats. Unauthorized users have the potential to intercept data being sent
between a NAS and web browser.
Purchasing and installing a myQNAPcloud SSL certificate will bring you better protection
when connecting your NAS via DDNS.
