QNAP NAS Integration
Integrate QNAP NAS with renamed.to for powerful file organization on your QNAP storage system. Leverage QNAP's enterprise features while automating file naming and organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to install anything on my QNAP NAS?
- No, the integration works over your local network by accessing the NAS as a standard network drive. No special QNAP apps are needed.
- Do my files leave my local network?
- Yes, the file content is sent from your computer to our secure cloud API for processing. The file is then renamed directly on your NAS. We delete the file from our servers immediately after processing.
- Does the computer running the desktop app need to be powerful?
- No, the app is lightweight. It only needs a stable network connection to your NAS and the internet.
Before You Connect
- A QNAP NAS running QTS 5.0 or newer
- renamed.to desktop app installed on a computer on the same network
- A user account on the NAS with read/write permissions to shared folders
How It Works
The renamed.to desktop app (Windows/Mac/Linux) runs on a computer on your local network
You mount your QNAP shared folders as a network drive (SMB/CIFS)
The desktop app watches these folders for new files and sends them to the renamed.to API for processing and renaming
