Here's how to set it up. You were likely greeted with the QuickConnect setup page when you first installed your Synology NASbut it's possible that you may have skipped it. If you changed your mind, though, it's never too late to set it up. Plus, it's fairly easy to do.
You probably already created a Synology account when you set up your NAS, so just log in using your credentials, and then hit the "Log In" button. If you haven't already signed up for an account, you can do that here as well. After you log in, create a QuickConnect ID.
This is a username of sorts that you'll use to access your NAS remotely. After that, tick the check box to agree to the terms of service and privacy policy, and then hit the "Apply" button. When that's done, a new box appear with the link you'll use to access your NAS remotely from a web browser, as well as the ID you'll use when remotely accessing your NAS from a mobile device using Synology's mobile apps.
You'll then have access to your NAS's user interface just like you would if you were at home. Readers like you help support How-To Geek. When you make a purchase using links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
