I walk you through the easy setup using the UGREEN NAS app, explain RAID configurations including RAID 0 and RAID 5 for data protection, and demonstrate how to leverage fast 10 gigabit ethernet and USB ports for high-speed media capture and file sharing. I’ll show you how I use the SMB volume to mount the NAS on my Mac for smooth editing workflows with 4K ProRes video streams. Plus, I explore the smart Photos Sync app with AI-powered organization and multi-user collaboration features. Learn about syncing backups locally and remotely, remote access setups without complicated port forwarding, and how to share files securely via links.
