Photo access questions

Hi.
Looking to purchase the RND2110
My needs are to tore photos as external storage but have multiple user acc for clients to see photos and download what they need for media needs.
Can i
A) assign unlimited log ins
b) for each user only allow certain folders to be seen
c) upload a high res for storage for me but have multiple choices for what the client/media want size wise to download?
d) when browsing the folders with files are they thumbnail's?

I had a look at the Qnap my friend bought but he returned it..
Any advice
much appreciated

    Looks like you're looking at the ReadyNAS Duo. If you want the latest ReadyNAS Photos II, I would recommend the ReadyNAS Ultra. You'll be able to do a-c. With regard to d, Photos II doesn't give you a file-level view, but rather photo-level view, so viewers will see only photo thumbnails which I think you want. Sort of like if you were sharing photos via Flickr or Picasa.

    You may wish to have a look at About ReadyNAS Photos II. yoh-dah's put lots of nice info about it there. There have been some nice enhancements made to Photos II over time and one would expect there will continue to be.
