Access photos mobile app from internet - Enquiries - 11-22-2023
Hi,
I hope I am reaching out through the correct channel. I already sent a coffee maybe a year ago and submitted a question you answered. So, I hope it's the correct way to ask a generic question.
I'll paste the specifications of my NAS below.
Basically, I want to be able to access the photos on my NAS from outside my WIFI network. I have setup a shared space (/photo folder) and a personal space (home/photos), which are both working and being accessible from the IOS "Photos Mobile" app... when I'm connected to my WIFI network at home.
The problem I have is that I can't access it when I'm outside with my mobile data. I originally set it up like this on purpose (aka not accessible from outside), but now I want to access it outside, I can't find what I need to change to be able to do that.
Can you help pointing me to the correct direction?
See below more details about the specs.
Thanks so much !!

Certainly! To access your photos on the NAS from outside your Wi-Fi network, you have a couple of options. Firstly, you can enable QuickConnect, providing a hassle-free way to access your NAS remotely without dealing with IP configurations. Alternatively, for a faster and more secure solution, consider using Tailscale VPN. This option not only ensures quick access to your photos but also adds an extra layer of security.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me !
I already activated QuickConnect with the admin account, but it's still not working. Is there anything else I am supposed to do?
I will look into the other solution you mentioned (thanks for sharing), but I'm an individual user, so the easier the solution the better for me
Thanks,
