• If using the cloud storage through a proxy server, click Proxy Settings. In the displayed page, enter the proxy
server name, port number, username, and password. Ask your network administrator for detailed proxy server
settings.
• To use after the network was temporarily disconnected, click Reconnect.
• If a file is added to the cloud storage bucket directly, the file will not replicate to the TeraStation's remote
replication folder.
• If you enter an incorrect bucket name and then cancel editing the cloud storage service settings, that wrong
bucket name may still accidentally be registered. If this happens, reconfigure the cloud storage service settings
correctly starting from step 4.
• Be careful with existing files in the destination folder, as files with the same name will be overwritten even if
copied files are older.
• If you copy a file to the remote folder using File Explorer or a backup process, the file will also be uploaded
sequentially to the cloud storage bucket. This second uploading process will start in the background during the
first copying process and will not be visible. If you shut down or restart the TeraStation immediately after copying
a file to the remote folder, the file may not be uploaded to the bucket. Try copying the file again if this occurs.
• If you encounter any upload or download errors, click Error Log. The log will display the filename and operation
during which the error occurred.
• If uploading fails, try copying the file again. If it still fails, click Reconnect or set the cloud storage switch to off and
on again, then restart the cloud storage service.
• If transferring or accessing 1 TB or more files from cloud storage, make sure there is enough free space on
the TeraStation for temporary file caching. For example, when uploading 1 TB of files to cloud storage, it is
recommended to keep at least 2 TB of free space available.
