It's function is to share files across the internet rather than locally. Apollo Cloud is a powerful personal cloud storage device giving you access to all of your content from anywhere using the Apollo Cloud App. The Apollo Cloud is cleary named and labeled as cloud storage. In short: please include FTP in the next firmware update to include all of us you have excluded. The syncronise folder feature is awful because it creates a hierarchy of folders (even worse than dropbox and ). I saw the Apollo as a defence against Ransom ware, which I guess it still is via time machine, depending on exactly how that is mounted. I have for many years been uploading and downloading via the internet to all my network devices, both NAS and DAS (ironically the 8 bay Promise R8s etc which I love to bits.). If you really must you can call FTP legacy protocol but port 22 is still assigned to it, though I prefer to change that when using FTP. Maybe you can fix the firmware please? It is after all merely a design choice based on faulty assumptions about the user profile. I bet you it's twenty-somethings or thereabouts.Īs you can see, I would like to have had a word with your designers before this thing was inflicted on us. Which age range are you aimed at exactly? So my 90 year old dad who knows nothing of these matters and my 4 year old grand daughter who expects everything to simply work (and if not it is classed as "broken'), are excluded. ![]() This means solutions for family members cannot be created that do not require support from this here dynosaur (me). ![]() However, the deepest problem with Apollo is requiring the use of devices between the scanner and the Apollo destination. I have experimented and managed to fudge copies to Apollo by creating an Apollo synchronised folder inside a Tresorit (proper cloud storage) folder to which a different scanner scans images (etc). No my BROTHER MFC-9840CDW does NOT support SMB. So your device should carry an ageist warning!Īll that said and rectified. ![]() When I started out there was no such thing as using computers. I am 64 and FTP was invented yesterday as far as I am concerned as was the PC. Only a youngster would call FTP "ancient". It is on my LAN not on the WAN, even if accessible from the WAN.Īs such it is in the first instance NAS, Network Attached Storage.
