Qfile gives users remote access to the Turbo NAS. It allows users to easily access, manage, and share files on the Turbo NAS and upload files directly from their mobile devices on the go.
Qmanager offers users a handy tool to monitor and manage the Turbo NAS remotely. It provides users information of system status and connection status. Furthermore, users can manage the download/backup tasks and easily turn on/off application services of the Turbo NAS anytime and anywhere.
"More and more people are using smartphones, however, due to the limited storage capacity on the phone, it is impossible to carry all the data users might need on the go," said Ken Cheah, product manager of QNAP. "With Qfile and Qmanager, users can easily control and monitor the Turbo NAS, and enjoy convenient access to all their data and share files with friends and family," Cheah added.

The Drobo 5D and Drobo Mini—the world’s smallest and most portable full-featured storage array—are designed to accelerate workflows for creative professionals managing data-intensive files; home media enthusiasts looking to consolidate and accelerate video, photo, and music files; and small businesses that need fast, portable backup to protect large amounts of data. Drobo, widely recognized as the maker of the easiest-to-use storage device, has added advanced performance with Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, automated SSD acceleration, and greatly enhanced hardware and software architectures to the new systems.
