QuickConnect
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > ezCloud > QuickConnect to manage the QuickConnect service.
QuickConnect is a solution that can help client applications to connect to your DiskStation via the Internet without
setting up port forwarding rules.
Client applications with QuickConnect support include the following:
 DS file (see "Chapter 18: Communicate with Mobile Devices" on Page 161 for more information)
 Cloud Station (see "Sync Files via Cloud Station" on Page 68 for more information)
Note: Before enabling QuickConnect for client applications, make sure relevant DSM services are already enabled.
To enable QuickConnect for client applications:
1 Tick the checkboxes for the applications and then click Apply.
2 You will see your ezCloud ID in the ezCloud Info section, which is a combination of numbers used by client
applications to gain access to DSM services (see To access DSM services via QuickConnect below for
more information). If you want to give your ezCloud ID a name that is easier to remember, tick Customize
ezCloud ID and enter your customized ID in the text field.
Note:
 The customized ID should consist of alphanumeric characters, "-", and "_", and cannot start with a digit.
 For better QuickConnect performance, it is recommended that you go to Main Menu > Control Panel > Router
