ReadyNAS Photos II How it work?

Hi, My Readynas RN104 firmware 6.5.0 T322. I have question to ReadyNas Photos II app. I launch app Photos II Login then I add photos which all my photos are in the nas picture folder, After adding photos. Does the Nas take extra space from the nas? Where does it store to? If I delete the pictures in the app photos II will it also delete from my nas pictures folder where I add them from? All the photos are upload from the Nas. I want to delete it but I am afraid will also delete from nas.

    Well firstly if the photos are important then you should have a backup of them e.g. to a USB disk, another NAS, the cloud or some place else.

    Secondly, when you delete photos from Photos II they are deleted from your Photos II library not from where you originally uploaded them from.

    Hi Superdan186,

     

    The Photos are saved to a hidden folder in the NAS that is accessible via ReadyNAS Photos app. I believe you have an option to download the photos using the app.

     

    Regards,

  • Hi JennC, thanks for reply. I don't want to download them. I want to delete them. Because there were 6000+ photos in that one and I can't get it to preview. It crash my Nas , I need to delete it so I can re-organize. My question is if I delete it from photosII app will it delete from my original picture from my Nas?
