Requirements
  • Active FTP protocol: This is available in the HiDrive Pro package or the Additional Protocols extension to another HiDrive package.
  • A HiDrive folder in which the data of your QNAP NAS is stored. For more information on folders, please refer to the article Sharing folders in HiDrive for data upload.
