remotely downloading onto NAS
Posted: February 10th, 2021, 4:58 am
Been looking arounf for this answer for several days now and only finding bits and pieces, but nothing that fully tells me if i can do want is below.
i have a NAS (Qnap, Intel based). which i use mostly for my media collection to use on plex. until a week ago i downloaded via NZB sites and SAB to PC and then transfered the media over to NAS. but then i was told about Sonarr and Radarr, which blow my mind lol.
anyways, now i have both them and SAB installed on NAS and have them automaticlly search for new media, download it, rename it, and put it in the correct folders. which plex then updates and boom, i have new content.
my issue tho is half my life im at work and wish to be able to do a few things from there..
1st, if i find a NZB i want to DL away from home (i.e. at work, or on phone etc) how can i send it to SAB on my home NAS?
i keep getting an answer that dropbox is best, which i have. however this has 2 issues. 1st i cannot seem to find dropbox on NAS. and a few verisons of it ive got hold of would not install. so installed on PC. but cannot seem to find a way to get NAS and PC to view that folder which is in Dropbox. when in SAB and looking in the "watch folder" part it only gives me places on the NAS.
so im stuck on this way.
and 2nd, i would love to have SAB, Sonarr and Radarr on my laptop at work but that are the same as the one on my NAS.
i can and have installed them as stand alone programs, but they have no asscess to the NAS ones and so i dont know what i have already got and not got.
plus if i use SAB on work laptop it ends up here. and i have to transfer it via USB. i can use the "myQNAPcloud" but takes forever to upload so no point.
i hope this is understandable. as you can see i am new to this field. but eggor to learn.
thank you in advance
