QNAP Hybrid Mount
Intro
HybridMount is a QNAP application that enables the integration of cloud storage services with a QNAP NAS. It allows users to mount cloud storage as local drives on the NAS and access data through standard protocols such as SMB, AFP, NFS, and FTP. HybridMount also supports caching to improve access performance and provides file management features such as data transfer and synchronization between the NAS and cloud storage.
Prerequisites
First, you need to get your access key and secret key, from the Cubbit Web Console or https://console.[your-tenant].cubbit.eu. Please follow these instructions on how to get started with a Cubbit account and generate these keys.
Installation
To install QNAP HybridMount you can proceed directly from the QNAP AppCenter.
Configuration
Open HybridMount, click on Create Remote Mount and create a new Gateway Cloud File. Be sure to choose S3 compatible.
