SOFTWARE PART 2 

The Web File Manager is perhaps the one application you will use more than anything else since this is just about the only way you can upload files onto the NAS.

The second version of the Multimedia Station is nothing fancy so your movie files will appear as medium sized icons on the right part of the screen. Double clicking on any file starts the playback and aside the fact that it can play FullHD files flawlessly it is also 100% dependent on the Atom CPU and doesn't take resources from your own system (something seen with Synology NAS devices).

What really changed from the last time i tested an QNAP NAS is the layout of the PhotoStation which looks a LOT better than the old donut one and also features Google maps (if your picture is geo tagged).

The Music Station may not be fancy (like the Multimedia Station) but it gets the job done and is extremely easy to use.

Same goes with the Download Station (used for HTTP/FTP/Rapidshare/Bit Torrent downloads) since it's also very easy to use but offers just a basic layout and support only for Rapidshare (would be nice to see netload support as well).

The Camera Server is a very complete application that gives you control in just about everything related with your surveillance cameras but unfortunately QNAP still lacks official support for many models. I will continue asking them to improve on that as I have in the past but the end result is really not up to me.
