iPhone X: NAS access - how to access storage

A NAS is a device that connects to your home network and provides extra storage. This is also clear from the name "Network Attached Storage". You can store backups and other important data on the device to ensure that they are not deleted.

How do you access the NAS with an iPhone X?

To access a NAS, you usually need the corresponding app from the manufacturer. However, you can also use a regular network file app that allows you to access all drives on the network.

1. Use the File Browser app to access the data on your network. With the app, you can view photos and videos of the NAS and add or remove files.
2. With the File Explorer app, you can not only access the NAS, but also use various private cloud services. To do this, simply connect to a cloud service and then use the app to manage your data.
3. Access the manufacturer's app. Most of the time, it is enough to search for the name of the manufacturer of the NAS in the App Store to find an app that allows you to access your NAS.
4. If you configure your router properly, you can even access the data in your NAS on the go.
