My love affair with the IoSafe 1515+ and Synology just keeps growing the more I work with it! I was in Africa and we had a 3G and MiFi for connecting to the outside world. That’s it! I choose to spend the ten days totally offline (why nothing was posted here on the blog). Then one day a thought crossed my mind. From 7600 miles away with this really slow connection out in the African bush, could I hook up and talk with my IoSafe 1515+ back in the office using Synology’s DS File? As you can see, I was able to not only to see the IoSafe 1515+ but able to see the Jpeg thumbnails. Now I think the cell tower started to melt and bend over and the network went down for an hour with this connection, but after a while I was able to see what you see above. I made a real quick screen capture then logged off. Ya, it was an expensive experiment when I saw the data bill, but it just amazes me that I could talk to my images with an iPhone from that distance in that remote situation. The best part is, I needed no other software to see and work with ALL my files remotely! I can work with Photo Mechanic, Photoshop or Bridge through Synology remotely with all my images just like I can back in the office. The weak link as always is the connection. But it’s just cool that ability is there and twice now, it’s made the difference in making a sale and that’s what’s really important to me.
Here’s how I got it all up and working for our business
