HybridMount
Mount cloud storage and file servers on your NAS. Obtain greater storage potential and faster file access.

Cloudification and multi-cloud management is here to stay. With HybridMount you can mount storage from public clouds and remote servers, or enable a cloud storage gateway to assist in simplifying hybrid-cloud applications, moving data to the cloud, cloud backup/restore, or cloud collaboration for remote working.

Multiple mounting possibilities to expand NAS storage potential

HybridMount can mount storage from various sources, including cloud storage and remote servers. Multiple mounting possibilities help you flexibly expand the capacity of a QNAP NAS (or other supported QNAP devices), while also providing single-interface central management of files on the NAS, cloud storage, and remote devices.

  • Public Cloud Mounting

    Integrate NAS with mainstream cloud services. Cloud storage gateways are also supported to enable low-latency access to the cloud with local caching.

  • Remote On-premises Device Mounting

    Mount a remote NAS or file server, and enable share access to mounted folders to achieve optimal file sharing and collaboration for cross-site workplaces.

Easy, convenient & flexible. Centralize your file management.

Implementing flexible and secure hybrid-cloud storage is incredibly easy with HybridMount. Mount cloud storage or remote servers based on your needs to manage file storage, backup, and restoration from a single interface.

  • Public Cloud Mounting

    • Network drive mode

      Mount public cloud storage to a NAS as a network drive and enjoy an unlimited number of connections! Multi-cloud files can also be accessed through File Station or the Qfile mobile app for greater work efficiency.

    • File-based cloud storage gateway mode

      Use SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, and WebDAV to access cloud-based files as if they were stored locally and enable low-latency access to frequently-used data with local caching - ideal for file servers, online collaboration, and file-level data analysis.

  • Remote File Server Mounting

    • Network drive mode

      Mount remote devices (NAS or file servers) using CIFS/SMB, FTP/FTPS, NFS, or WebDAV to centrally access data. Remote folders mounted using CIFS/SMB and NFS can also be set as local NAS shared folders, allowing NAS users with permissions to quickly open/edit remote files and manage them with File Station and the Qfile mobile app.

Complete HybridMount Application Structure

Supports major cloud storage services

HybridMount supports numerous cloud storages (including file storage and object storage) as well as S3-compatiable object storage and WebDAV-compatible cloud storage, allowing you to map non-natively supported cloud storages to your NAS for higher flexibility in multi-cloud environment deployment.

Key features of HybridMount cloud storage gateways

  • Smart Caching

    Saves cached files in the HybridMount Cache Space on NAS to provide near-LAN access speeds to recently-accessed files.

    Amazon Drive and ShareFile do not support local caching.

  • Integrated Workflows

    PC users and applications can easily access cloud-based files using SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, WebDAV, and S3 protocols.

  • Encrypted Transmission

    SSL encryption ensures sensitive information can be transmitted securely over the Internet.

  • Local Access Sharing

    When multiple local users (authorized individuals or groups) access cloud data, the same cloud files are only downloaded once, helping save bandwidth and associated costs.

  • Multi-point Sync

    Teams working from multiple locations can access, sync, and share cloud-based files using HybridMount without being limited by the Local Area Network.

  • App Center

    Cloud-based files can leverage apps in the App Center for convenient management and browsing.

  • File management

    Use Qfiling for automating file organization across cloud platforms; Qsirch for full-text file searching of cloud files.

  • Multimedia applications

    Enjoy cloud-based multimedia files with QuMagie AI-powered photo management and CAYIN MediaSign Player.

  • Editing tools

    Edit cloud-based files using tools such as OCR Converter and Text Editor.

Key features of HybridMount network drive mount

Mount folders from remote devices to your local NAS, and access remote files just like accessing files on the local NAS.

  • Multiple Protocols for Mounting

    Mount remote devices using CIFS/SMB, NFS, FTP/FTPS or WebDAV protocols for easy file access.

  • Local Access Sharing

    Remote folders mounted through CIFS/SMB and NFS can be set as local shared folders – allowing NAS users to access mounted remote folders based on local access rights (previously only accessible to NAS administrators)
