To add a member, simply tap the '+' icon, add a name, and send the invitation link via text or email to the recipient. The button on the left is the Members button which takes you to a screen where you can give members (up to 40) access to the drive. Tapping the Device button takes you to a screen that shows you how much storage space is used and how much is available, along with account information (user name and email address).

At the top of the screen is a '+' button that is used to quickly create folders and add photo, video, and other files from whatever device you are using or from an attached USB device, and at the bottom of the screen is a series of dashboard buttons. It opens to a Files screen that has a large Device button with two smaller buttons on either side. You can access and configure the Apollo Cloud 2 Duo via a user-friendly mobile (iOS and Android) app or a web-based app. Access to the physical drives is tricky: You have to pop off the small cover on the top of the enclosure and remove a couple of screws and the fan assembly to get to them. Missing are the USB-C and HDMI video ports that you get with drives like Asustor AS6302T ( at Amazon).

It's powered by a 1GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB of DDR3 memory, and has a gigabit LAN port, a USB 3.0 port for transferring data between the Apollo and a portable USB drive, and a power jack, all around back. The Apollo Cloud 2 Duo supports RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring) and uses two 4TB drives for a total of up to 8TB of storage depending on how you configure it. This device lacks the numerous activity LEDs that you get with most NAS units, but the power button's light ring will glow green when the drive is powered up and ready to use, white when it is in pairing mode, orange when it is updating its firmware or rebuilding its RAID drive, and red when there is a hardware failure. It has a glossy white finish with black trim, and there's a lone power button on the front. The Duo 2 is a small tower that stands 8.3 inches high and is 5.4 inches deep and 4.8 inches wide. The Apollo Cloud 2 Duo doesn't look like a typical NAS device, but neither did its predecessor, the Apollo ( at Amazon), which we reviewed back in 2016. The Apollo Cloud 2 Duo does offer some handy tools, though, including automatic camera roll backup to ensure the photos and video you take on your mobile device are never lost. Offering a simple way to store and share photos and video from your phone, you get 8TB of storage, but it delivered middling file-transfer speeds in our testing. The Promise Apollo Cloud 2 Duo ($449) is an easy-to-use and easy-on-the-eyes network attached storage (NAS) device.
