QTS 4.3.4 PART 2

Although the latest version of the File Station app (v5) is a lot better than previous ones I still prefer mapping network locations in Windows since it’s a lot faster.

The MyQNAPCloud app (CloudLink is also part of this app) is among the most useful ones since it allows you to access your NAS from anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the internet. The entire process is automatic (you will need to register an account however) but you may be required to “dirty” your hands a bit if your modem/router is not compatible.

Need be you can also run your very own proxy server by using the available app as seen above (provides HTTP-based caching, access controls and antivirus functionality).

The container station app allows you to run Linux virtual machines such as Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora and applications like LibreOffice, MongoDB, Nginx, Node.js, Redis, MySQL, WordPress, Deluge, Minecraft, Wine, Jenkins, GitLab, Redmine, Joomla!, and much more.

Via Q’center you can access and manage a large number of QNAP NAS Servers a lot faster/efficiently than if you logged into each one.

With the Music Station 5 you can stream and playback your entire music collection without switching to an external app.

Via the 5^th version of photo station you can see and share all your pictures with other systems and mobile devices.

Qsirch allows the end user to search for specific files inside the NAS at incredible speeds. It may not come in handy much for home use but for office use it could prove to be a valuable addition.

The Video Station app allows playback of media files (unfortunately it doesn’t support some very popular media extensions like for example MKV).

The QVPN app allows users to access the NAS on a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from the Internet (can be used to create a VPN client that connects to a remote server or third-party provider to access contents or services. In addition, you can even turn your QNAP NAS into a VPN Server with PPTP, OpenVPN or, L2TP/IPSec services to allow connections from around the world).

If you have multiple email accounts and are looking for the most efficient way to check your emails the QmailAgent app by QNAP should have everything you need.

The Download Station v5 is a handy tool which you can use to download files either via Torrent or direct HTTP/FTP download.

QVR Pro is an upgraded version of the classic Surveillance Station with a larger number of available IP camera models, extra camera spots and remote viewing (automatic detection still doesn’t work flawlessly but you can always add your IP camera models manually). The default license includes 5 camera spots.

By using the latest Qfiling app you can organize the files scattered around the NAS in just five steps. This comprehensive auto-filing utility spares you the trouble of manually categorizing a large number of files and streamlines the process of archiving to help increase your work productivity.

Worth pointing out is that we counted no less than 137 current available apps for the TVS-873E.
