Setting up myQNAPcloud and AMIZ Cloud for the NAS

myQNAPcloud allows you to remotely access the NAS via the Internet and to access various QNAP cloud services. To start using myQNAPcloud, you should first sign in with your QNAP ID and then set up the service for your device. You can also choose to add your device to an organization, so that organization administrators can remotely manage this device via AMIZ Cloud.

  1. Open myQNAPcloud.
  2. Enter your QNAP ID and password.
  3. Click Sign In.
  4. Specify a device name.
    Tip:

    myQNAPcloud creates a SmartURL using the device name that you specify. You can also choose to reuse an existing device name that you have created for another device.

  5. Optional: Join the NAS to an organization.
    Tip:

    This allows the administrators of this organization to access, manage, and monitor this device via AMIZ Cloud.

    1. Select an organization.
    2. Select a site.
    3. Click Next.
    4. Enable AMIZ Cloud Agent.
      Note:

      • AMIZ Cloud Agent is a utility that communicates with AMIZ Cloud and collects the data of various resources on your device for analytics purposes without any identifiable person information. This helps you better monitor your device status.

      • myQNAPcloud automatically enables AMIZ Cloud when you add the device to an organization for central management.

  6. Click Next.
  7. Enable remote access services.

    Service

    Description

    myQNAPcloud Link

    This service allows you to remotely access your device via QNAP mobile apps, desktop utilities, and the myQNAPcloud website.

    myQNAPcloud automatically enables myQNAPcloud Link when you add the device to an organization for central management.

    If you choose not to join the NAS to an organization, you have to configure access control settings to decide which users can access your device.

    • Private: Only you can access your device.

    • Public: All users can find and access your device.

    • Customized: Only invited users can access your device.

    For details, see Configuring device access controls for stand-alone devices.

    DDNS

    This service automatically maps a domain name to the dynamic IP address of your device. Users can always connect to your device using the same URL without knowing the current IP address.

    You can configure DDNS settings later after finishing this setup. For details, see Configuring DDNS settings.
  8. Click Apply.

The system configures the NAS according to your settings. If you do not add the device to an organization during the setup, you can do so later by signing out and then signing in again with your QNAP ID to open the setup wizard.
