Data Transfers · Setting up a transfer

Can I transfer to a network share or NAS?

Short answer: Yes. Choose a folder on a share you've connected in Finder with the folder button, or add the NAS as an SFTP/FTP account under Connect Accounts and pick it with the cloud button. It must be reachable when the transfer runs.

Yes, two ways:

  • If the share is connected in Finder, it appears in the folder picker like any other location, and you can choose a folder on it.
  • If your NAS offers SFTP (or FTP), add it as an account under More → Connect Accounts… and pick it with the cloud button. This works without connecting the share in Finder first, and scheduled transfers to it retry after brief network drops.

Either way, the NAS needs to be on and reachable when the transfer runs.
