  • Qsirch quickly finds images, music, videos, documents, emails and other files based on keywords, colours and other filters.
  • TheQfile mobile app allows you to access NAS files from a mobile device anytime, anywhere; while also allowing you to transfer and backup files on your phone to a NAS.

Protect your sensitive data with file encryption

When you share sensitive or confidential files on your TS-431KX-2G, you can enhance the data security by using File Station to encrypt them into .qenc files and set a password. Recipients of the files must download and install QENC Decrypter on their computers and enter the password to decrypt, view and use the encrypted .qenc files.

Protect your data from malware with Snapshots

Snapshots help protect your data by recording the entire NAS system state and metadata. If a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can use the snapshots in Storage and Snapshot Manager or File Station to quickly restore the files to their previously saved states. QNAP snapshots are block-based and save only the changed data. Not only do they save storage space, but they also reduce the time required to back up and restore data. The TS-431KX supports up to 32 snapshots per volume or LUN, and up to 64 snapshots in total.
