The hosted storage is sold as myQNAPcloud Storage, myQNAPcloud Object and the combined myQNAPcloud One plan.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about QNAP myQNAPcloud, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It only makes sense with a QNAP NAS, and the plan page loads its capacity tiers with JavaScript so we only read a starting price.

The report card
Best for remote access and backup for QNAP NAS owners
myQNAPcloud lets you reach a QNAP NAS from the internet and sells hosted storage, mainly as a backup destination. It only makes sense with a QNAP NAS, and the plan page loads its capacity tiers with JavaScript so we only read a starting price.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | myQNAPcloud One starts from $8.39 a month, but capacity and billing basis are not shown, so it cannot be set against the category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 16 GB of hosted storage free, mainly for NAS backup. It is not clear that remote access itself is free. |
| Features | C | Remote NAS access, a SmartURL, shared links, hosted backup and S3-compatible object storage. It depends on owning a QNAP NAS. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and a NAS has to be set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on record, with Hybrid Backup Sync and QuTScloud. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who QNAP myQNAPcloud is for
- Fits if you own a QNAP NAS and want to reach it from outside
- Works for NAS owners who want a hosted backup copy
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you do not own a QNAP NAS, as it is not a standalone drive
- Watch out: capacity tiers and billing basis could not be read
- Watch out: the free amount named is 16 GB of storage, not remote access
- Skip it if you want phone and desktop apps, as none are listed
Good to know
Good for
- QNAP NAS owners who want remote access without configuring DDNS
- People who want a QNAP-hosted offsite copy of their NAS backups
Worth knowing
- Remote access is built around owning a QNAP NAS; this is not a standalone consumer drive.
- The plan page loads its capacity tiers with JavaScript, so only the 'starts from USD 8.39/month' figure could be read.
- The page text we read does not state whether the remote-access feature itself is free; the free amount named is 16 GB of myQNAPcloud Storage.
- The roster entry points to QNAP's regional site; the product pages were read on QNAP's global English site.
