What is QNAP myQNAPcloud?
myQNAPcloud is the cloud side of QNAP's NAS products. It lets you reach a QNAP NAS from the internet through a personal SmartURL and share files by link, and QNAP also sells hosted storage under the same name, mainly as a backup destination for NAS owners. The hosted storage is sold as myQNAPcloud Storage, myQNAPcloud Object and the combined myQNAPcloud One plan.
Worth knowing
- Remote access is built around owning a QNAP NAS; this is not a standalone consumer drive.

- The roster entry points to QNAP's regional site; the product pages were read on QNAP's global English site.
