Why You Need NAS
Protect Your Files
Need a Recovery Plan?
RAID keeps your files available after a drive failure. It is not a backup, so keep a separate copy of finished work and irreplaceable source files.
Space for Every Project
Outgrowing Local Drives?
Keep RAW photos, source footage, PSDs, and finished exports in one shared library. Plan capacity around usable RAID space, not only the headline drive total.
Always in Sync
Need the Current File Everywhere?
Sync active project folders between your workstation and NAS. In two-way sync, deletions can travel too, so keep recovery copies separate.
Access from Anywhere
Need a File Away from the Studio?
Use remote access to review, share, or download portfolios and project files. Large transfers and live editing still depend on your internet connection and remote device.
How a NAS Fits Into a Photo & Video Workflow?
Keep Lightroom Classic catalogs, Premiere Pro cache, previews, and other scratch files on your editing SSD. Store original photos, source footage, finished projects, and shared assets on the NAS; RAID can keep the library available after a drive failure, but it does not replace a separate backup.

Photographer NAS FAQs
Yes. UGOS Pro includes Photos for browsing, organizing, searching, and sharing image libraries stored on your NAS. On compatible models, photo-management features can also use on-device AI recognition and duplicate detection.
Photos is useful for managing a finished or archived library; it is not a replacement for Adobe Lightroom Classic or another professional RAW editor. Use your editing application for catalogs, edits, and exports, then keep the source files and completed work organized on the NAS. Download the UGREEN NAS client for your phone or computer.
Yes. The UGREEN NAS mobile client supports automatic photo and video backup from iOS and Android devices after you enable Photo Backup and grant the required Photos or Gallery and Local Network permissions.
Background uploads can be limited by phone operating-system settings, battery optimization, and network conditions. Before deleting originals from your phone, confirm that recent photos and videos are present and open correctly on the NAS.
Yes, but store the Lightroom Classic catalog locally. You can keep original photos on a UGREEN NAS shared folder, while the Lightroom Classic .lrcat and .lrcat-data files, previews, and active catalog backups stay on your computer’s internal SSD or a directly attached drive.
Adobe does not support storing Lightroom Classic catalogs on a network location. The practical workflow is: keep RAW files and archives on the NAS, keep the active catalog local, and back up the catalog separately to the NAS.
Yes, when the NAS, workstation, network, drives, and codec all support the workload. A 10GbE editing setup needs a 10GbE NAS port, a 10GbE client adapter, a 10GbE switch or direct connection, and suitable cabling—Cat6a, or Cat6 for short runs. A 2.5GbE client is limited to roughly 312.5MB/s before overhead, while 10GbE has a theoretical line rate of 1.25GB/s.
Keep Premiere Media Cache, previews, scratch disks, and temporary renders on the editor’s local SSD. Source footage and shared project media can live on the NAS; if heavy codecs or multicam footage still stutter, use proxies. If performance is lower than expected, troubleshoot slow NAS transfers.
