photos and photoshop
hello
I am new to readynas. I recently purchased readynas 102 with two 1 TB hard drives and was surprised that I installed, setup the two disk system with my wire less router and even have my files sync'd. As you can see by my terminology I'm not a much of a tech person. I try. Primary I purchased this system because I take lots of photographs, lots. so many I am running out of space on my windows based system and photoshop no longer runs very well due to lack of space (nor does anything else). Down to the problem, where do I go from here? My picture files are sync'd but I'm having difficulty figuring out what I do from this point. I don't see how to actually alleviate the problem of memory space on my computer and move it to the readynas hard drive. I also have not figured out the dual back up system.
Got it!!, thanks so much for all you help. I will be getting the back up going next, and thanks for the tip on the UPS. I hadn't even thought about getting a UPS and that would be wise.

Sounds do me that you actually don't want to do a sync at all. Instead you want to copy your data.
If you are using windows, open file explorer and it should see the NAS. Click on it, and you should see the default Photos share. Just drag/drop your photos there.
ok, that makes sense rather than syncing. I'm not sure then I have things set up right. I have a icon on the task bar for readynas. but I don't know if thats the same thing that you mean. This is what the menu looks like, is this where you mean ?
You are accessing through your browser.
It will be faster/better if you access through file explorer (e.g., "Computer" on windows 7 and earlier). If you enter \\192.168.1.26 into file explorer, you should also see the NAS folders. Maks sure you use \\ (and not //).
