In any digital home, it is not uncommon to find multiple computers and mobile devices each with different files and media spread across them. However, this important digital data is rarely shared or backed up between computers. If any single computer fails due to a virus or hardware problem it can mean the loss of priceless family photos, essential tax information, and purchased digital media. Thus, having an external backup is vital for preserving this valuable data. The DNS-320L presents an ideal solution, as a secure, central space where an entire library important files can be stored while remaining accessible from anywhere.
"As a mydlink-enabled product, the DNS-320L eliminates many of the most common technical hurdles to provide secure access to shared files while at home or on the go," said Harrison Albert, Regional Director at D-Link MEA. "No amount of storage is useful unless it's accessible. That's why we've made mydlink so easy to get to from any device, so that documents and multimedia are instantly available at the touch of a screen," Harrison concluded.
mydlink Access-NAS: Form Your Personal Cloud
Smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices are exceedingly portable. Unfortunately, this portability often comes at the expense of space for storing files and multimedia. With a mydlink-enabled NAS like the DNS-320L, these limitations are left in the dust with nearly limitless storage for a content library that is accessible virtually anywhere. The DNS-320L does this by establishing a "personal cloud" that allows owners to access and maintain control over their digital content. Once registered to the mydlink platform, content stored on the DNS-320L is reachable from any compatible web browser or from a mobile device running the mydlink Access-NAS app for iPod, iPad, and iPhone.
