Storing to a NAS

The FAQ says it's not possible to store to a networked device, as the downloader was using the Wifi. AFAICT this is a simplified truth: my Mac is wired to the network. This connection is still fully available while the download is doing its job.

Technically no problem. But I see the support headache, too :-).

Michael,

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. It is technically possible that in some setups, this will work and work flawlessly. A large segment of our users will most likely only be wireless, though, which is why we thought it made sense to note as much in the FAQ.

Another point to note is that if you set some NAS as the destination, and for whatever reason the Mobi Desktop Receiver can't find it when it attempts to deliver photos, it will unpair that destination, and you'll have to reset it in the activation screen once the NAS is back online and visible for your computer. This might never occur for any specific instance, but it's worth having that information out there.

Thanks!
