Although the show is no longer in production, you can enjoy episodes from the TWiT Archives.
Is it time for you to up your network game? If so, THIS is the episode for you!
Padre and Jason Howell take a look at some of the basic features of a Synology Network Attached Storage box in the first of several episodes about expanding your networking horizons. Learn how to automatically backup all the data on ALL the computers in your network, then learn about creating your own cloud, away from prying eyes. It's all coming up... on "Know How"!
Dropbox... but on your own personal cloud
Pre-Req:
* You need to have your "QuickConnect ID" enabled

1. Open Package Center
2. Search for and Install Moments
-- It will automatically install several packages including "Synology Application Service, Search, Drive, etc)
Installing Client:
* Availible for both Android and iOS
