If I sync my Transport with my brother's in another state, will he be able to see my files? Is there a way to encrypt my files on his Transporter?

Without additional effort on your part he would be able view the files you set up to sync with his transporter. If you wanted to keep some file safe from his eyes, you could use Viivo, which is free, to create an encrypted folder that is nested within the transporter folder. Anything placed into the Viivo folder would sync, but would be encrypted as it arrives on his transporter.

Yes, and yes. The Transporter encrypts both locations, and also the travel in the cloud between.

Due to my own ignorance on the subject, I assumed that linking by IP address was the way to access the data. My question is how do you link from a remote location across the internet to access files on the NAS?

You can share files easily with anyone inside or outside your home.Mine is sharing photos, documents and backups.It can be accessed around the world on Windows computers, android phones/tablets and iPads/iPhones.Once setup, it is all synchronizes automatically no matter where a person is located.I travel a lot and bought this specifically to make sure I could get my files from anywhere.Works great, I am very happy with the product and manufacturer support.

If your PC has the software installed, you'll access the files much like you would in dropbox, though an internet connected folder on your PC. You must have a fast upload speed where the transported is connected to be worth having. I have 5mbps up and it works alright. 10mbps would be my recommendation. If you "link" a file with the transporter you can view it on the website. I haven't messed around with that too much, but it seems to work.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider:http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

Yes. I use it with Linux Mint and Kubuntu operating systems. I also have TrueCrypt on it and my files encrypted with TrueCrypt, using the universal version which allows access from both Windows and Linux computers. That's the encryption method you'd want where the files must be shared perhaps across more than Linux only or Windows only.

I too, would like to know more about this. How can the files be accessed? By typing in the IP address into a browser? By FTPing in? When accessing the shared folder (or files), does a password need to be input? Is there even an option to make someone have to input a password? I'm interested in the file sharing but I'm pretty sure that with the older model (the WRT600N), there was no option to password-protect your shared files and folders, and that anyone with the IP address could access them. Since this newer model has more sophisticated firmware, I'm curious if a password option is in place. Can anyone who uses it give some details about their experience?

It will be picked up by your Internet automatically....anything you want secure you need to create acct with LaCie and then store your "secure" files in that folder it creates which is password protected.

If I understand your question, the short answer is no. Example: you have 2 computers, A & B. The tax software is installed on computer A along with some data files. You will have to install the tax software program on computer B also. Once this is done you can drag & drop the *data* files from A to B. Dragging the program itself from A to B will never work. Also, keep in mind that this device does not "see" every file type and some may be missed if you are not careful. A great little time-saving device with a major flaw. Use at your own risk!

I could not find any option in the UI to do it, my guess is that data are not encrypted and if you take out the HD you can actually get access to the files.

You can access a hard drive with it to copy files on, but if some files are encrypted or have permission problems they might not tranfer correctly. So, I can't say 100% clone

All you have to do is enter the password when you insert the USB and click the USB's icon and all your files are available for opening. Really easy actually. I'm pretty sure they are not encrypted...if it is, it automatically decrypts when you enter the correct password.

Yes-but when you hot sync, the application will ask for your password before it will continue.

No that will only enable them to share a network connection. You can connect them to the same network and transfer information using file sharing.

As it is.. NO. It was only meant to share you data online. Like Han Xu said, you need to install a different operating system like Arch Linux or Debian which might be not what your looking for. If you feel installing debian or Arch is something you can do then I highly recommend using Raspberry Pi or search for something similar. I hope this helps you.

Yes. You can encrypt the data on the drive. The Synology website has a step-by-step tutorial on the process: https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/tutorials/455
