Learn how to back up folders from a NAS with Jottacloud for PC/Mac.

Updated over 4 months ago

We allow all users to backup network drives / NAS to their Jottacloud account. We do not offer separate clients or apps for third party NAS's, so the backup of these drives must go through a computer running Jottacloud desktop app. 

How to add folders from a NAS

First off, the NAS needs to be connected to a computer running the desktop app. To backup a network drive, simply add folders from the NAS drive in the same way as you would add folders from an external disk to "Backup". The desktop app will then start uplading the contents of the folders to the cloud.

How does it work?

The backup is mirrored, so that means that if you add/change a file in a backupfolder on the NAS it will be uploaded, and if you delete a file from your NAS's backupfolder it will be deleted from the cloud

Folders on network drives will be scanned for changes only one time per hour.
