QNAP retires its PhotoStation, Qphoto and Qvideo apps to replace them with QuMagie with AI

Today’s NAS go far beyond being simple network hard drives and include many options to stop depending on third-party services such as web servers, content streaming services, video surveillance, etc. One of the functions that they integrate as standard are the storage and display systems for photographs and videos. In the case of QNAP, these services are called Photo Station, QPhoto and QVideoand allowed us to create our own storage system in the multimedia cloud, in the purest style google photos or Onedrive.

Photo Station is the local service for QNAP NAS, while Qphoto and Qvideo were the applications to access content.

We say “they were called”, because QNAP has announced that it will permanently retire them in October 2023. Users who have them downloaded to their QNAP NAS and mobile devices will be able to continue using them, but they will not be updated anymore, while new users or those who do not download them before October 1, 2023 will not be able to use it.

The reason for this decision is none other than to dedicate more resources to the combined solution that QNAP has been offering for photography and video for some time: QNAP QuMagie.

QuMagie will be the application and service that will be in charge of managing photos and videos uploaded to QNAP NAS, being able to access the files from anywhere and taking advantage of the AI ​​acceleration capabilities included in several of its NAS to classify and detect people or scenes in photos and videos automatically.

QuMagie is also available for access via the “QuMagie Mobile” mobile app. Additionally, albums previously created with the retired apps will be automatically imported into QuMagie.
