Note:
 For IE 8, the maximum size of a file that can be uploaded to the NAS by File Station is
2GB if the Java plug-in is not installed. We recommend using a modern web browser to
access File Station.
 Due to limitations with Google Chrome, when using the upload folder function of the
File Station toolbar only folders that contain at least one file can be uploaded. You can
use drag & drop to circumvent this limitation.
 For Chrome, multiple files and folders can be dragged & dropped into File Station to
upload them directly.
 ARM-based NAS models do not support using Cyrillic characters for the name of a
subfolder in an ISO shared folder (the name will be incorrectly displayed if a subfolder
is created with a Cyrillic name.) Please name the subfolder with a different language
before an ISO file is created.
 For Mac OSX, mounting a folder that contains the # character in the folder name
through WebDAV is not supported. Please rename the folder before mounting it if
necessary.
 You can preview Microsoft Office files using File Station. To do so on Mac OSX,
mounting a folder that contains the # character in the folder name through WebDAV is
not supported. Please rename the folder before mounting it if necessary.
 For "View in Office Online" and "View in Google Docs", please set your browser to allow
pop-ups and you will need a myQNAPcloud account. Supported file
formats: .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx.
 To stream media files to HDMI or Chromecast using the Network Media Player, the
Media Streaming Add-On must first be installed in the App Center.
 Bonjour must be enabled when using multi-zone streaming. To enable Bonjour, go to
"Control Panel" > "Network Service" > "Service Discovery" > "Bonjour".
 Only MP4 video files can be directly streamed if your NAS does not support On-the-fly
Transcoding. You can consider transcoding them into different media formats if they
are desirable.
