    Any deals for a cheap QNAP to take advantage of this deal?

      I've been watching this space for the past 2 months, and there aren't any deals atm, they all finished in Dec or mid Jan, so we might be waiting a while till the next ones.
      These were the deals I saw before they expired:
      * TS-462-2g was $460 on eBay
      * TS-464-8g was $690 on eBay
      * TS-233 is still slightly discounted
      * A few sporadic discounts on other models.

      If it's of interest, Terramaster still has the F4-223 for $489, which has good hardware but TOS is behind QTS: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/828175

      I'm researching a heap of DIY options in the mean time in case further discounts/sales don't pop up sometime in the near future.

      The Massive Qlocker ransomware attack uses 7zip to encrypt QNAP devices occured back in 2021 / 2022. Theoretically the holes have been plugged, but …

    • raybies on 31/01/2024 - 14:44

      I've read about the Qlocker and Deadbolt. my QNAP NAS' having been running since 2010 without issue. What does one have to do to get infected?

      • Ramrunner on 01/02/2024 - 15:29

        Have it exposed on the internet.

        Mine only had MyQNAPCloud on it and it got done so very bad back door in it somewhere at the time.

        • raybies on 01/02/2024 - 17:12

          Mine are exposed to the internet. One is even in the DMZ to use as a torrent server. But I don't MyQNAPCloud.

          • dangerdanger on 03/02/2024 - 08:19

            @raybies: DMZ? Demilitarised Zone?

            • Ramrunner on 03/02/2024 - 12:38
              +1

              @dangerdanger: Yep - it just means there's no protection through the router's NAT or other means.

              The rest of the network is protected (Militarised/Monitored/Protected whatever). No incoming ports unless specifically manually set in the router or through uPnP.

              When you place something in the routers DMZ it is explicitly unprotected from the outside. All ports open and accessible

              I would personally never do that (rather manually open ports) unless I needed to specifically test something but each to his own.

              • raybies on 03/02/2024 - 14:48

                @Ramrunner: My DMZ is positioned ahead of the OPNsense firewall and DHCP server, with the internet router preceding it. Thus, the configuration is internet router > NAS for the DMZ, while for most others, it follows the pattern of internet router > firewall > VLAN > Device.

                I utilize Syncthing to retrieve necessary data from the DMZ NAS beyond the firewall.

    • Piranha2004 on 31/01/2024 - 15:32

      They basically forced everyone to upgrade the firmware (it was actually auto applied) to fix this issue.

    I only see the 16 GB free offer.

    • Scrooge McDeal on 31/01/2024 - 11:57

      Maybe because of:

      myQNAPcloud Storage will only accept applications from a maximum of 100 QNAP ID users each day. If your application is not accepted, an error message will appear on the screen. Please note that you will have to apply the next day or later.

          A. If you have already activated your myQNAPcloud Storage

          1. Sign in to your QNAP Account. The application form will be shown at the bottom of this page.

          B. If you have not activated your myQNAPcloud Storage

          1. Go to myqnapcloud.com and create your space on it.

          2. Take note of the regions you chose

          3. Now start the process from A-1 as above

        • WhatsTheBigDeal on 02/02/2024 - 09:38

          I didn't see any 'form'; it was just a drop down to select your region and tick you accept their terms and submit. It was at the bottom of the page.

    No NAS, but …" Every QNAP Account is entitled to 16 GB free storage as standard, and you will receive an additional 100 GB storage space" - is there a charge for this 16GB? Can it be used to back-up a mobile?

    • mko75 on 31/01/2024 - 12:40

      Same here, never registered. I'm not sure if this error means that the 100 daily allocation has been exhausted:

      "myQNAPcloud Storage will only accept applications from a maximum of 100 QNAP ID users each day. If your application is not accepted, an error message will appear on the screen. Please note that you will have to apply the next day or later."

    • PlasticSpaceman on 31/01/2024 - 14:43

      ..and same for me. Maybe it's the 100 daily allocation thing, although if so the error message is pretty misleading. FWIW a few people are seeing the same error here: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/qnap-100-gb-cloud-storage-23109…

      • PlasticSpaceman on 01/02/2024 - 12:38

        Update - it now says "This campaign has already received applications from a daily limit of 100 QNAP ID users. Please apply again the next day or later."

        • PlasticSpaceman on 02/02/2024 - 11:10
          +1

          Tried again this morning and the first time it came up with the "QID has already been registered for this campaign" error message. Then on second attempt at 10:59 it said it had hit the max 100 applications and "New applications will be accepted daily at 00:00 (UTC+0).” Then at 11:00 it said "You've successfully submit the form. QNAP automatically adds 100 GB storage to your spaces after you backing up your NAS data." So yay. The storage still says 16GB, so I've kicked off my small backup again just in case and will see what happens - will give it 24 hours. update - it's there now. Took maybe ten mins. So in my case the steps I took were:
          1. Create a backup job in HB3 to backup up about 60MB - basically just backing up my Home Assistant container config
          2. Wait until 11am (Melb/Syd time) and register for the upgrade
          3. Run the backup again

          Done.

    • Fybre on 31/01/2024 - 14:59

    FYI you need a QNAP NAS system to get the 100GB free storage. If you don't have a NAS the most you get for free is 16GB.

    • Mikael on 31/01/2024 - 15:15

      Got a qnap. Just showed 16gb. Not even worth while to use

  • ar7ist on 31/01/2024 - 14:10

    I've got a few TB's of Photos/Videos. Currently for iPhone's, I have a mix of 2 TB via Turkey and upload some with OG Pixel - which is a tiring process + Google no longer lets you upload HEIC format.

    So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what's the best setup to move a few TB's of data over from Google Photos and iCloud over to another storage solution.

    • raybies on 31/01/2024 - 17:52

      I completed this task by making it entirely local using SyncThing.
      Next step: Purchase a NAS, use Google Takeout to retrieve files, transfer files to the NAS, and set up a Syncthing container.
      Finally, install applications on appropriate clients.

      • ar7ist on 31/01/2024 - 18:36
        1. When you say 'local using SyncThing' = do you mean from iPhone to OG Pixel? or from your devices to your NAS?

        2. "Installing applications on appropriate client" = installing SyncThing on my devices such as iPhone?

        3. I couldn't find Syncthing on iPhone, but I believe an alternate is Mobius. But the transfer speeds are really bad.

        4. In your setup, are you able to only sync locally or is there a way to do a remote sync as well with your NAS.
        5. What application do you use to view your media instead of Google Photos on Pixel or Photos on iPhone?
        • raybies on 31/01/2024 - 20:54
          +1

          I have Synology and QNAP NAS units. They run SyncThing either natively or in a docker container.
          I sync the required files among the 3 NAS units, which is a superior redundancy method compared to RAID, especially in case of failures.
          The NAS units can sync with cloud services via native apps, such as QNAP Hybrid Cloud Sync.
          If you are behind a firewall (e.g., OpnSense) and you open ports, you can sync with any other SyncThing globally.
          My Android phones sync with my NAS units using SyncThing.
          My PCs and Macs sync with the NAS units using SyncThing.
          I use Samsung Gallery on my phones.

          Seem iOS is the only platform syncthing isn't availble on, so yeah Mobius. But it looks the same https://apps.apple.com/us/app/m%C3%B6bius-sync/id1539203216?…

      • AdrianW on 31/01/2024 - 22:07

      • lonewolf on 01/02/2024 - 12:19

        do you mean install the software onto my pc or install the App onto my Qnap NAS. I installed on both but was trying to use the app on my QNAP Nas as i figured thats how its meant to be used in order to get the extra bonus?

Once I have registered (within the 100 per day) do I need to do the transfer the same day as i registered the form? Or once registered, Do i have till March to perform the transfer?
