Buffalo Advantage - Web Access

Use your own personal cloud to access and share media and data files anytime, anywhere!

Buffalo's WebAccess service allows you to create a personal cloud for easy remote access and file sharing with anyone, anywhere over the Internet. Your data remains securely stored in one place on your home network, but you can access it quickly from any computer, tablet or smartphone device over the Web. Sharing is as easy as sending a link to your friends and family; they can securely access only the files you've selected for them to see.

WebAccess is a free personal cloud service for any LinkStation or TeraStation user. Set up is easy* - no special software is required and there are no contracts or service fees. Log in to your personal cloud whenever and wherever you have an Internet connection!

Connect to Your Content, Anytime and Anywhere

Have you ever realized minutes before a meeting that you left your presentation at home half way across the country? Or what about forgetting to load your mobile device with music and movies for that long trip ahead? Perhaps you just want to share photos of your vacation with family and friends before you get home. Buffalo's WebAccess personal cloud service makes it easy to upload, download, stream and share content over the Internet, even in a pinch!

Quickly connect to your NAS device from any Web browser or WebAccess mobile app and you can browse your file shares and directories. It's that simple.

Apple iOS® and Android™ Support

Buffalo's WebAccess mobile apps make it easy to access your personal cloud from your Apple and Android mobile devices. These free apps give you incredible flexibility, placing terabytes of securely stored content at your fingertips for immediate access anytime and anywhere!

Stream Movies and Music

WebAccess features an integrated Flash™ MP3 Player* so you can stream your favorite music over the Web. Simply press the play button on any MP3 and enjoy your music from anywhere. You can even play back music and movie collections to your mobile device over 3G and Wi-Fi connection. Phoeo files are automatically resized by the Buffalo NAS device to create seamless and fast photo access with thumbnails.

View and Share Photos and Slideshows

WebAccess integrates a digital photo viewer that fits images of any resolution to your screen, making it fast ad easy to browse through multiple images with just a click of the mouse. Sharing photos is simple!

Upload Files to Your Buffalo NAS from Anywhere

In addition to downloading and viewing content, WebAccess supports file uploads to your personal cloud from any standard Web browser; easily share files with friends and family and vice versa from anywhere. Best of all, you are not limited by your email server or service anymore, which may impose restrictions on file size or content type.

How Does it Work?

www.BuffaloNAS.com is the portal site responsible for establishing a peer-to-peer connection between Buffalo NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices, such as LinkStation and TeraStation products and users' Web browsers.

Simply send your friends a link to your NAS device (e.g. http://www.buffalonas.com/BobsLinkStation). Your friends simply click on the link and see your files; it doesn't get any easier than that!

What About Security?

Rest assured your Buffalo WebAccess server is configurable to allow restricted access to any files or folders. Through WebAccess, you can make all files and folders or select portions of your Buffalo NAS device accessible from the Internet. You decide to restrict or allow access to folders and files.

Folders can be set up to allow anonymous access while other directories require usernames and passwords for access. You can also mark folders as read-only or they can be configured to allow users to rename, delete and even upload files.

Access to the Buffalo WebAccess service is available over HTTPS 128-bit secured connections. This is the same technology web sites use when you provide your credit card information.

Finally, BuffaloNAS.com or Buffalo Technology does not have any access to your data. It is only used to initiate a peer-to-peer connection between the remote user and your private NAS device.
