About

UNAS Access

Read full description

UNAS Access is the missing native UNAS remote access app for UniFi NAS and UniFi Drive. It brings your storage into a focused app built for iPhone and iPad, with fast file browsing, remote access, native previews, transfer management, and NAS status in one place. Sign in with your UniFi account to reach eligible UNAS devices remotely through Ubiquiti services, or connect directly to a local UNAS address when you are on the same network. The app keeps the experience native while using your own NAS as the source of truth. Browse personal and shared drives, preview common documents, stream compatible media, download files or folders, create folders, rename, duplicate, move, copy, delete, restore from trash, and manage Drive share links. Large and unsupported files open through a safer details flow with clear download actions instead of leaving you at a broken preview. The Server tab shows UNAS health at a glance, including system status, network I/O, storage usage, RAID state, disk temperatures, fan profile, and recent file operation throughput. UNAS Access also integrates with iPhone and iPad system features: expose your NAS in the Files app, and back up photos and videos to a selected NAS folder with date-based organization and Wi-Fi-aware video backup controls. There is no UNAS Access cloud backend. The app stores credentials and session material locally in Keychain, and communication happens between the app, your UniFi hardware, and Ubiquiti services required for UniFi remote access. UNAS Access is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Ubiquiti Inc. UniFi, UniFi Drive, UNAS, and Ubiquiti names are trademarks or assets of Ubiquiti Inc.
