File Server Offering Anywhere Access

Anyone can build their own private cloud with DS1019+, so they won't have to worry about third parties snooping in on important data. Businesses and home users alike can also share files for collaboration across multiple platforms, and anywhere access allows them to be able to reach their data through a web browser, or they can sync it across different devices for mobile access while they're on-the-go.

A Centralized Backup Destination with Active Backup
