Hard Drive Accessible from Smartphones and Tablets

The WebAccess app supports not only Android and iOS but also Windows 8.1/8, Windows RT 8.1/RT, and Windows Phone as well, making it simple to connect to your NAS and access your data from nearly any smartphone or tablet, even when you're away from the NAS. Of course, you can also access the NAS from computers using a web browser.

Access your home NAS anytime, anywhere with "WebAccess"

The Web Access application lets you access and manage your home NAS simply and easily from smartphones, tablets, and computers, anytime and anywhere. Being able to use your home NAS anywhere is like walking around with a high-capacity hard drive. But this way, there is no need to save and carry around data on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or other mobile device.
1. NAS can be used simply and easily with a variety of different devices, from smartphones to tablets and computers.
2. Sharing files with friends and acquaintances is simple.
3. There's no need to bother with copying files to the device. This means there is no need to be concerned about the device's storage capacity.
4. If the mobile device is ever lost or stolen, the data is still safe on the NAS.

Access from computers also possible using a web browser

1. Configure the LinkStation on a LAN connected to the Internet.
2. In the LinkStation's Settings screen, set the WebAccess switch to the "On" position.
3. Send your "buffalonas.com name" to the individuals with whom you want to share your data.
　 You can set a password as needed to restrict access.
4. The shared folder is then accessed.

* To use the WebAccess function, you need an environment that allows you to connect the LinkStation to the Internet. You can also use WebAccess in environments without a fixed IP address assigned.
* Buffalo recommends use with a router that supports the "UPnP" (Universal Plug & Play) standard to connect peripheral devices via the network.
* With some hardware configurations or router settings to convert IP addresses in the LAN, you may not be able to use the easy settings with UPnP or the WebAccess function.

LinkStation's advantages over recently popular cloud services

Cloud services offer no user data administration, which raises concerns about privacy. In addition, most general services only provide several GB or so, which is not enough capacity to store photos, videos, and music data. Services with large amounts of storage usually charge high monthly fees. The LinkStation requires no additional fees after purchase, so you have free use of 1TB (1,000 GB) or more starting the day you set up the LinkStation.

Preserving and returning data in mirroring—process from failure to recovery
