Frequently Asked QuestionsHow many people can I invite to share BeeStation's storage?

You can invite up to 8 people to join BeeStation.

Can I use BeeStation if I don't have a computer and only want to back up photos from my iOS or Android devices?

Yes. You can set up BeeStation using a mobile browser. Once it's up and running, you can then back up photos from your phone, enjoy photos and videos from a timeline or a world map, find photos based on automatically detected faces and objects, create and share albums, or even invite non-BeeStation users to contribute photos to your albums—all through the BeePhotos mobile app.

In this scenario, certain system management features are currently only accessible through the desktop browser. These tasks include monitoring storage usage per user, and checking system health. Nevertheless, you will receive email notifications regarding the system's status and health if any issues require your attention.

Is it possible for BeeStation to connect to my home router via Wi-Fi?

Unfortunately, BeeStation doesn't come with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, so it can only connect to a router through an Ethernet cable.

Can I transfer files to BeeStation from my computer using a USB cable?

No. The USB-A and USB-C ports on BeeStation are designed for connecting external storage devices like external drives or flash drives.

When connected, BeeStation can automatically back them up. If you believe they don't require a backup but, instead, want a way to access files on these external storage devices from anywhere, BeeStation also allows you to directly view, download, and manage files on these storage devices without them occupying BeeStation's internal storage space.

Does BeeStation operate without an Internet connection?

You can enable local access after the initial setup. In situations where your Internet service provider experiences an outage, you can still sign into BeeStation using its private IP address through a web browser or via the SMB protocol.

Currently, signing into the desktop or mobile apps without an Internet connection is not supported.

Is my data safe if BeeStation has only one built-in hard drive (no RAID)?

Data safety comes from backups, not RAID. RAID is about keeping some multi-bay systems online during a single-drive failure. It does not protect against accidental deletion, ransomware, theft, fire or flood, or multiple drive failures.

To help keep your data safe, BeeStation makes automatic backups easy to turn on, unlike manual backups that are often forgotten or can go wrong if not executed carefully. Whether you want to keep it straightforward by plugging in a USB drive, or prefer an encrypted copy in the cloud with BeeProtect for extra peace of mind, it takes just a few clicks.

Once set up, BeeStation keeps your backup up to date so a mistake doesn’t become a loss, and your files are ready to restore when you need them.
