Remote Access
To access the gateway over the internet for administration or to access files, make sure that Remote Access is enabled. Remote Access is a cloud service that can be enabled or disabled. When Remote Access is enabled, your cloud storage gateway is assigned a unique DNS name, with which you can access it on the Internet. You will not need to open any ports on your firewall in order for users outside your network to be able to access the gateway using the DNS name.
Note: Enabling or disabling Remote Access controls whether your cloud storage gateway is accessible from the Internet. However, you can always access the gateway from within the local network, regardless of this setting.
