As Easy As 1-2-3
Scan a QR code, plug in the power and Ethernet cables, and press a button to confirm - that's all you need to do after unboxing. After that, you're all set to start transferring files or photos to your personal cloud storage.
Store Everything Here, Access Anywhere
With 4TB of storage space, you can store all your work and personal files for years to come. Once they're on BeeStation, you can reach them from any web browser, as well as from the desktop or mobile apps. Also, since you can use your Google Account, Apple ID, or Synology Account to sign in, you won't have to remember any extra logins.
Never Max Out Phone Storage Again
Backing up photos to BeeStation is as easy as opening the app. Once they're backed up, you'll have your life's memories with you wherever you go. Want to share a family vacation album, or get family members to add to it? With one link from the app, everyone can enjoy and contribute.
AI-Powered Photo Organizer
Accelerated by its built-in NPU, BeeStation's AI makes it easier than ever to find the people, pets, or other things you're looking for. You can also explore a world map to rediscover photos from the places you've been. With these features and more, BeeStation takes the work out of photo organization.
Your Digital Workspace
View 100+ file formats, including image (even raw files), video, Microsoft Office, compressed, text, and code files, right from your browser. You can organize them with folders, virtual labels, and stars, and search for them using keywords, file types, and more. Once your files and folders are on BeeStation, they are readily accessible and shareable, no matter where you are. You also have the option to add password protection or expiration dates to shared links to restrict who can open them.
Sync Your Progress Across Computers
With the desktop app, you can open files on BeeStation straight from Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder and edit them with any desktop software, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Cloud. Low on laptop storage? BeeStation's 4TB capacity has you covered, as long as you have an Internet connection. And since changes are constantly synced to BeeStation in real-time, switching between your work and personal computers is a breeze.
Keep Your Cloud and USB Files In One Place
Got files all over? BeeStation can sync files from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, as well as back up any connected USBs or other external drives. That way, if you ever lose access to a cloud account or can't find a physical USB drive, you can rest easy knowing you've got a backup on BeeStation.
Private Spaces for Each Family Member
Send an invitation link to any family member to give them their very own cloud space, completely separate from others. This process is even easier for them all they have to do is sign in with their Google or Apple account.
