Allow room for your photo library, shared files and backups. Nominal capacity is measured in decimal TB; formatting and system files reduce the space available to store your content. Files within easy reachBeeFiles brings supported computer folders, cloud account files and external drive content into a central storage workflow. Access permissions let you share selected files without opening your entire library. A simpler photo libraryBeePhotos backs up mobile photos and helps organise people and subjects with AI-assisted albums. Keep an additional backup of irreplaceable photographs. Media and computer backupsPlex Media Server lets supported playback devices access your personal media. Compatible macOS computers can use Time Machine; supported Windows backup workflows depend on the relevant software and setup. Playback devices and optional paid services are separate. Network storage rather than a USB desktop driveConnect BeeStation Plus to your router using Ethernet. Its USB-A and USB-C ports support external storage devices; they are not a direct USB connection to your computer. An internet connection and Synology Account are required for initial setup. Configured local SMB and browser access can work without internet, while mobile and desktop sign-in require connectivity. Keep a separate backupBeeStation Plus contains one internal hard drive and does not provide RAID redundancy. Use an external drive or a separate backup destination. BeeProtect is an optional paid cloud backup service; it is not a permanent free subscription. The enclosure has no user-expandable drive bays or memory. Summary Choose BeeStation Plus 4TB for a smaller personal library or 8TB for more storage headroom. Both provide straightforward file sharing and photo organisation, with a 3-year limited hardware warranty and separate backup options to protect your data. 続きを読む
