LAN sharing
The LAN Sharing panel configures network access to files stored on the N5 Pro. It supports SMB, FTP, NFS, DLNA and WebDAV, but there is currently no SSH service or SFTP option, so the system cannot be administered through a shell or accessed using SSH-based file-transfer tools.
In the image above, I’ve enabled SMB sharing, which is disabled by default. I’ve selected SMB3 as the minimum protocol version, avoiding the obsolete SMB1 protocol.
SMB multichannel support can be enabled to use multiple network connections for higher throughput or resilience.

MinisCloud OS looks very promising, but I would be reluctant to entrust important data to a beta NAS operating system.
