Simple to use central file server
The heart of any NAS device is instant, centralised storage. Once connected, you have an additional, shareable storage system available immediately. The DiskStation lets you share files, keep files private, set up various users, add user groups, set up FTP, set up photo albums and stream music and video.
Print Server
You can connect a USB printer to the DiskStation, which means that you have a ‘network’ printer. This allows you to print from any PC on the network, via the DiskStation.
Backup Server
The DiskStation is supplied with Data Replicator II software, which can be loaded onto each of the networked PC’s, and it will backup, then monitor the PC for any file changes. If a file gets changed, it automatically gets backed up onto the DiskStation. To restore a file, simply copy the file(s) back from the DiskStation.
FTP
The DiskStation has FTP functionality, so you and your customers can access common files over the Internet.
Host your own website
The DS-107e provides a web hosting space that serves the needs of users who wish to share or advertise their personal or business web pages to people all over the world. The DS107e supports PHP and MySQL. PHP lets you install open source applications from the Internet, such as blog and bulletin board software.
Share photos via the Photo Station
People who love taking pictures with their digital cameras can now browse and share their favourite photos, videos with their families and friends.
Share music, video and pictures
