I'm getting ready for a trip to Japan with my lightweight photography kit (including a DJI Mini 4 Pro and Sony A6700). While I'm there, I'll need to send the photos and videos I capture back to my uGreen DXP6800Pro NAS in Italy on a daily basis. I've installed Tailscale on my laptop, the NAS (set in VLAN), and on my router (Asus Rog GT-BE19000AI via Docker). I've successfully connected to the NAS using my smartphone, but I'm trying to figure out how to map the network drive on Windows using Tailscale's IP (100.X.X.X). Additionally, I'm looking for software that enables secure file transfers with checksum verification, and I've heard about Teracopy but I'm open to other suggestions from more experienced users. I'm planning to transfer around 250GB of files each day (4K video and RAW+JPEG photos), so I need a solution that's more reliable than the basic copy-and-paste method. Any advice on mapping the drive and improving the security and stability of my NAS connection would be appreciated!

Rsync is a great option for what you're trying to achieve, as it verifies files with checksums during copying. Tailscale should keep your connection secure. If your NAS is your primary point of access, you might not really need Tailscale set up on your router. What kind of issues are you running into when you attempt to connect to your NAS by IP or name from your laptop?
You might want to check out handrive.ai! It's a P2P file transfer app that works across macOS, Windows, and Linux. It includes end-to-end encryption and checksum verification for every packet. No need for a VPN, and it optimally uses your bandwidth for long-distance transfers. Plus, it operates just like a native network share. Definitely worth looking into!
