The record

File management: It lets users manage, preview, and share files from phones, cloud storage, and external drives.
Storage: Supported storage configurations include JBOD and RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6.
Backups: Its backup system is based on the 3-2-1 strategy and can manage backup and sync across cloud, local, and LAN storage.
Apps: The App Store advertises more than 800 apps, with one-click installation and third-party Docker support.
