myQNAPcloud Service
To offer users with a better remote access experience, QNAP provides the myQNAPcloud
service, which helps users connect to their QNAP devices via the Internet when they are
outside of their LAN (local area network) environment. When you log in to your QNAP NAS
with your myQNAPcloud ID (QID), all the complex port forwarding settings on the router will
be automatically configured by CloudLink, an innovative remote access feature from QNAP.
CloudLink chooses the best connection for you according to your network environment and
resolves difficult issues such as the needs for the router to support UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play). After enabling CloudLink, you can access the files on your QNAP NAS via
myQNAPcloud website and share these files with your friends and contacts via download
links.
To use the myQNAPcloud service, click the myQNAPcloud shortcut from the NAS Desktop or
Main Menu.
