QNAP TAS-268-US 2-bay Personal Cloud NAS with DLNA, mobile apps and Android display

The QTS operating system provides a web-based user interface to help you easily manage files on the TAS-268. You can install various apps based on your needs to fulfill tasks like storage, backup, management and multimedia applications. File Station allows you to upload, download and manage files anywhere with a web browser. All of your photos, music and videos can be indexed by the built-in Media Library, and easily managed and shared with the Photo Station, Music Station and Video Station. The energy-saving Download Station is your 24/7 download center, allowing you to quickly download files to enrich your collection.

Qsync utility turns your TAS-268 into a safe, large-capacity data center for file synchronization. Any file uploaded to the TAS-268 will be made available for all linked devices, such as computers, laptops or mobile devices. Qsync is especially useful for frequent travelers to manage files and always have the most up-to-date files on different devices. You can also install the Cloud Drive Sync app from QTS App Center to easily sync files with Google Drive™ and Dropbox® cloud storage.

In contrast to the bounded storage space and potential security issues with public cloud services, the TAS-268 is advantageous for establishing a secure and large-capacity private cloud. The myQNAPcloud service allows remote access to files stored on the TAS-268 and supports automatic port forwarding for UPnP routers, My DDNS service and CloudLink, allowing you to easily access files, share multimedia, and check your system status from anywhere.

The TAS-268 is an ideal file center for centrally managing your files and backups. You can use the Qfile mobile app to upload files, and then use File Station to browse, manage and share; back up files from external devices via USB one-touch-copy function, use NetBak Replicator or Time Machine™ for Windows™ and Mac™ backups, or back up files to cloud storage; and synchronize files across devices by using the Qsync utility.

Google Play™ provides various media apps including YouTube™, TED, Twitch™ and other video apps. You can install and stream movies, cartoons, TV series, news, and sports at anytime. Your entertainment can be greatly enriched by the countless apps available.

By plugging in a USB keyboard, mouse and HDMI display, you can directly manage, edit and play files stored on the TAS-268 without needing an additional PC. On the HDMI display you will find your familiar Android™ interface, and you can start using various QNAP apps including Qfile, Qmanager, Qphoto, Qvideo, Qmusic, MyNAS, and Kodi ™ player. The Android™ experience is your TAS experience, so download the popular Android™ apps* to the TAS-268, and enjoy videos, apps and file management on a monitor or TV for the best visual comfort.

* The media player of TAS is implemented over the Android OS with Google Play supported. However, not all of the Android apps will be supported on TAS.

* Some of the TV-channel apps might not be running smoothly over this Android platform e.g. Netflix, Hulu and HBO Go.

In addition to working independently, the TAS-268 can also be used with another QNAP NAS to handle more applications.

• QTS RTRR/rsync functions can help back up files on the TAS-268 to another NAS, securing data with double protection.
• With the Android™ interface displayed via HDMI, you can use apps like Qphoto, Qmusic and Qvideo to browse multimedia files on another QNAP NAS, or install the Vmobile app to monitor IP cameras from the Surveillance Station of another NAS.
• With another NAS (with QTS 4.2 or later), you can use File Station to directly mount shared folders from a remote TAS-268 by FTP, WebDAV, and CIFS/SMB.
• Various VPN apps available in Google Play™ can help stream media contents from blocked sites, or create a secure OpenVPN tunnel between the TAS-268 and another NAS to process remote backup tasks.
