Solutions for Backup, Storage and File Management
File Syncing
Cloud Station Suite
With Cloud Station Suite, every change made to your files will be automatically synced to other devices such as PCs, mobile devices, or another Synology NAS, while multiple data versions are retained so that you can recover files from a previous point-in-time when needed.
File Synchronization
Cloud Station Suite features Selective Sync and offline editing, enabling files to seamlessly sync to different devices once the devices are connected to the Internet. Users can choose one-way or two-way synchronization according to their needs.
- Selective sync
This feature allows you to sync files to certain devices according to file format or size. For example, you can sync only the critical files in small sizes to mobile devices and sync large files to your DiskStation, thereby flexibly deploying the storage space. - Offline editing
All the changes made during offline editing will be synced to Cloud Station once your device is reconnected to the Internet. For example, the annotations created on PDF files via DS Cloud during offline will be synced to other devices once it is reconnected to the Internet.
Cloud Station Suite on your Synology NAS
Effortlessly manage a secure and intuitive private cloud.
- File versioning
Historical versions of a single file will be retained for users to restore files to a particular point-in-time. Intelliversioning retains only the most important file versions, allowing users to go further back in time. - Point-in-time recovery
Version Explorer allows you to view the historical versions of your backed up data. Even when unforeseen disasters such as hardware damage or ransomware attacks occur, you can easily restore files or folders to a specific point-in-time within a few clicks. - 2-step verification
The support for 2-step verification prevents malicious parties from taking advantage of weak or stolen passwords and hacking your sensitive data stored on Cloud Station, ensuring that your data is always safeguarded. - Encryption and compression
Equipped with mature and advanced encryption feature, Cloud Station ensures that your data is securely stored. In addition, storage consumption can be minimized because data stored on Btrfs shared folder volumes can be compressed.
Monitoring and Management
Cloud Station Suite comes with detailed logs and tools for administrators to monitor and manage various tasks.
Synchronization logs
Logs are provided on every Cloud Station Suite package, keeping track of who edited, deleted, or restored a certain file from a specific device when multiple people are collaborating on the same file.
Device permissions
Access permission can be assigned to user groups and IP addresses, allowing administrators to permit users to access Cloud Station only when their devices are connected to a specific network, such as an intranet or VPN.
File permission
With Windows ACL, you can specify detailed access rights and fine-tune users' read, write, and administration permissions for individual files; therefore, files can be synced to PCs and mobile devices according to the configurations.
Bandwidth control
Speed limit allows administrators to control the maximum bandwidth consumption for each user or group, thereby reducing speed bottleneck during heavy network traffic.
Stay updated with notifications
When certain events or errors occur, DSM-based Cloud Station ShareSync will send emails and DSM desktop notifications to the administrators and users alike.

External Storage Replacement
Tired of external hard drives? Get Synology NAS!
Have you ever rushed back to the office after leaving for the day, just because you forgot to take your external hard drive with you? Or simply couldn’t find the flash drive that contains your PowerPoint presentation before an important meeting? Now centralize all your data with DiskStation - and access the files you need quickly and easily, wherever you are.
Traditional data storage
Files are saved on several flash drives or external hard drives. Keeping track of data is difficult and tedious, making it inconvenient to take files with you on the go.
New data storage - DiskStation
Just one compact, little box is enough. Access files anytime and anywhere, without the need to bring any storage device with you.
