How to start and configure a NAS file server?

In this tutorial we will describe in a few steps the process of setting up a home NAS file server. In addition, we will present all the capabilities of the file server Totolink Airmemo N1. We invite you to read on.

What is a home NAS file server?

So by way of explanation. NAS, or Network Attached Storage, is a storage device connected to our Internet network. It can act as a file server, a media library and a safe, where we safely keep, for example, backups from other drives.
With a file server, our data is safely stored and we can share it with specific users. Perhaps most importantly, with a NAS server we can access our files anytime and anywhere. All we need is an Internet connection.

For whom?

For everyone! NAS will be great for home storage of photos, e-books, music, videos, important documents, as well as disk backups of other devices.

Why should you have a file server at home?

NAS servers work great both at home and in all kinds of offices. After all, we live in such times where probably each of us has a very large number of different types of files such as music, photos, videos, etc. That's why it's a good idea to equip yourself with a home file server for your convenience and that of other household members or co-workers.
If you want to securely store documents, study materials, research papers, or publications of various kinds, then a NAS server is the ideal solution.
And best of all! If we have an Apple laptop, a Windows computer and an Android smartphone, then a NAS file server, will integrate all these platforms. That's it in a nutshell, why we need a NAS server:
  • easy storage
  • simple home server setup (first run)
  • you can access your media from anywhere in the world
  • possibility to mount various hard drives (including western digital)
  • convenience
  • versatility
  • plenty of space for files

  • private cloud
  • alternative to Google Photos
  • an irreplaceable accessory for an IP camera

What are the advantages of a home file server?

First of all, with a NAS home file server, we get easy and inexpensive access to large amounts of data. In addition, we access our data from a mobile app on our smartphone. Of course, we can access our media library from anywhere in the world at no charge. The only condition is access to the Internet.
