Chapter 6 Remote Access and Cloud Services
• Do not copy 100,000 or more files to the backup source folder at once. If you do and uploading fails, try again
with fewer files.
• Be careful with existing files in the remote folder, as files with the same name will be overwritten even if copied
files are older.
• If you copy a file to the shared folder using File Explorer or a backup process, the file will also be uploaded
sequentially to the cloud storage bucket. This second uploading process will start in the background during the
first copying process and will not be visible. If the TeraStation is shut down or restarted immediately after copying
a file to the shared folder, changing the settings, or disconnecting and reconnecting the Ethernet cable, the file
may not be uploaded to the bucket. Try copying the file again if this occurs.
• If you encounter any upload or download errors, click Error Log. The log will display the filename and operation
during which the error occurred.
• If uploading fails, try copying the file again. If it still fails, click Reconnect or set the cloud storage switch to off and
on again, then restart the cloud storage service.
• If transferring files that total 1 TB or more to the cloud storage, make sure there is enough free space on the
TeraStation for temporary file caching. For example, when uploading 1 TB of files to the cloud storage, it is
recommended to keep at least 2 TB of free space available.
Synchronizing with Dropbox
The TeraStation supports synchronizing with Dropbox, the online cloud service. Once linked, you can share
TeraStation files via Dropbox (or Dropbox files via TeraStation). To link your TeraStation with your Dropbox account,
follow the procedure below.
Note: To use Dropbox Sync, you will need a Dropbox account and an available empty Dropbox folder. If you don't
have a Dropbox account, or if you need to create a new empty Dropbox folder, refer to the Dropbox website.
