安裝指南

開始使用「私有雲」網路儲存裝置時,首先先確認裝置是否有可以存方的硬碟。安裝硬碟首先需要初始化硬碟,這個過程會格式化您的硬碟,如果您需要備份硬碟內容,請在格式化前進行,否則資料將被刪除。

步驟 1~3 是第一次使用時,需要進行的動作。

步驟 4~5 是使用時,會進行到的動作。

步驟 1 - 安裝硬碟

系統所使用的儲存空間,我們建議您使用內建的硬碟,或是透過 eSATA 所連接外接硬碟,並且建議您使用私有雲內建的格式化工具來掛載您的儲存空間,依據您購買的私有雲產品,決定您所安裝的硬碟尺寸,是安裝 2.5“ 硬碟還是安裝 3.5” 硬碟。

詳細的私有雲系列硬碟安裝說明如下:

步驟 1 - 登入

通過 http://www.myakitio.com 入口網站連線登入,是最方便的方式。步驟如下:

  1. 打開您的瀏覽器。 (如:IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome)
  2. 輸入 http://www.myakitio.com 網址,進入 AKiTiO 的 NAS 入口網站。
  3. 確認裝置的 MAC address ,您可以在產品的包裝盒上,或是產品本體的底部上查看到。
  4. (1) 中輸入 MAC address 或是您已註冊的名稱,按下放大鏡 (2) 找尋您的私有雲裝置。
  5. 進入登入畫面後,請輸入您的帳號與密碼,按下「Enter」鍵,或是右下方的房子小圖示。
如果您無法透過入口網站連線設備,可能是您的 Router 有開啟防火牆,或是其它問題,請參考 登入 項目內的其它方法連線。
無法透過入口網站連線設備請參考 入口服務 ,也可以在 常見問題 中尋找解決方法。

步驟 3 - 設定硬碟

在您使用「私有雲」設備前,您必須先安裝硬碟,並將硬碟掛載到系統中。

  1. 首先請使用管理員(admin)登入。
  2. 在工具欄上,點擊「磁盤管理」。
  3. 選擇「自動」,然後點擊「確定」。
  4. 點擊「開始」進行硬碟安裝動作。
自動安裝模式僅支援使用內建的硬碟。如過您是使用 USB 裝置 If you want to use an external USB drive as your system drive, you need to use the Expert mode and manually create the partitions. See our FAQ for more detailed instructions about how to setup an external USB drive as the main drive.
The MyCloud requires one drive to be setup as its system drive, preferably an internal drive and not an external USB drive. The file system that is used for that drive is XFS, so if you remove the system drive from the MyCloud, you need another system (e.g. Linux) that is able to recognize and access that format if you would like to extract the data from the drive without the MyCloud.

步驟 4 - 上傳檔案

Once the system drive has been setup, you can start uploading your digital media files to the network drive. The HOME directory with its predefined folders for documents, music, photos and videos is for your private files. The PUBLIC directory is for files that are shared among the users that have access to this device (by default, this is only the administrator).

  1. On the desktop, click on MyCloud to open the file explorer window.
  2. Depending on the files types you want to upload, select one of the predefined folders (e.g. Documents, Music, Photos, Videos).
  3. In the menu bar, click Upload.
  4. Select one of the available upload methods. If in doubt, select the traditional form upload. This will work on most browsers but you will have to upload the files one at the time. Instead, if you are running one of the more recent browsers, select Upload by HTML5, which allows you to drag and drop multiple files directly into the upload window.
  5. Upload your media files.
Uploading files via web interface is only one of many different ways you can upload your files. On the home network, the easiest and fastest method is to mount the network drive via SMB. See File Management > Samba for PC users and File Management > Samba for Mac users. For mobile devices, download and install the free MyCloud App, which is available for iOS and Android.
To read more about the available methods that you can use to manage your files, see File Management > Overview.

步驟 5 - 瀏覽檔案

Once you have uploaded your digital media files, you can setup the media server and the music server to stream your music and videos on the home network.

UPnP-AV Media Server

The media server streams your files to other UPnP-AV and DLNA compliant clients (e.g. PS3, Xbox360, Windows Media Player, etc.). To find DLNA compliant media devices that can play your media files on the network drive, look for the “DLNA Certified” logo or use the Product Search on the official DLNA website.

  1. In the toolbar, click on Preferences.
  2. Select Media Server.
  3. Make sure the service is enabled and running.
  4. Click Add to select the folder(s) where your media files are stored. If needed, you can add multiple folders. The media server will scan for all the compatible media files in those directories and then stream them to the other UPnP-AV compliant devices on your home network.
  5. Click Apply to save the settings.

iTunes 音樂服務

The iTunes music server streams music files that are located on the network drive to iTunes users on the home network. Simply install iTunes on your PC or Mac and use it to playback the music files on your network drive.

  1. In the toolbar, click on Preferences.
  2. Select iTunes.
  3. Make sure the service is enabled and running.
  4. Click Browse to select the folder where your music files are stored.
  5. Click Apply to save the settings.

For more information, see Preferences > iTunes and File Management > iTunes.

步驟 6 - 分享檔案

There are several ways you can share files with your family and friends but before you start, it's easiest to give them a user account on the network drive.

  1. In the toolbar, click on Preferences.
  2. Select Accounts.
  3. Click New.
  4. Enter a username.
  5. Enter a password and confirm it.
  6. Click Save to create the new account.

Each user gets its own HOME directory for private files and has access to the PUBLIC directory to share files among the different users.
For more information about user accounts, see Preferences > Accounts.

Public Directory

Files that are stored in the PUBLIC directory are accessible to all users (read & write). Simply copy a file to the PUBLIC folder and the next time another user logs in, they can view it. It doesn't matter if the user logs in via web interface or mounts the network drive on the home network.

Sharing a Folder

If you want to share files with other users but restrict access, as an example only to certain users or give them only read access, you can use the context menu in the web interface.

  1. On the desktop, click on MyCloud to open the file explorer window.
  2. Right-click on the folder you want to share to open the context menu.
  3. Select Share and click Group.
  4. Enable the option Share this folder and select the users you want to share the folder with.
  5. Click Apply to save the settings.
  6. Click Refresh and the folder icon shows a hand to indicate that this folder is currently shared.
If your friends do not have a user account, you can still share your files by selecting either Email or Publish instead of Group. This will create a public link, that you can then send to your friends. Clicking on it will open the album and display the files you have shared.
For more information about file sharing, please see File Management > File Sharing.
A shared folder is only accessible via web interface. If you mount the drive via SMB or access it through FTP, the shared folders are not available.
