File Server

Smart versioning helps store and access files from all your devices and keeps them secure. Organize, manage, share, and sync data across locations.

Access files anywhere

• Private cloud for all your devices: Store your files, photos, and videos securely and automatically sync them across all your devices. Access your data from anywhere using the mobile app, desktop app, or web browser interface.
• Secure and reliable storage: Shared folders on Synology devices are used as reliable storage, available anywhere on your local network via all common protocols (SMB/NFS/WebDAV/FTP). Your data is protected from cyber threats and ransomware with advanced security measures.

Manage and share files

• Organize, manage, and share files: Organize data with file, photo, and media management apps using metadata, filters, and labels to quickly find and access files. Easily move, copy, delete, and organize your files. Share information with others using links with expiration dates and passwords. Provide easy remote feedback and photo reviews with star ratings.
• Sync files and folders between locations: Synology offers two efficient solutions for synchronizing files and folders between different locations. With Synology Drive ShareSync, folders are synchronized one-way or two-way between Synology devices. Allows easy linking of NAS locations, synchronizing data in real-time or on a schedule. With Synology Hybrid Share, combine secure cloud storage with local caching on the DS1522+. Data is stored on Synology's secure data center, while frequently accessed files are backed up or manually pinned to the DS1522+.

Multi-layer backup

Back up files, folders, physical devices, virtual machines, and SaaS applications with free solutions. Protect your NAS with built-in technologies.

Full device backup

• Comprehensive protection for endpoints, servers, and virtual machines : Securely back up Windows clients and servers, Linux endpoints, VMware® and Hyper-V® virtual machines, and other Synology devices. Built-in deduplication significantly reduces backup size, and supports multiple versions to restore the system to any point in time.
• Back up cloud apps locally: Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are protected by maintaining complete offline copies of your important information and configurations with Active Backup for Microsoft 365 and Active Backup for Google Workspace.
• Document and media backup: Backup tasks protect important folders on PCs and macOS devices with Synology Drive. On mobile devices, automatically save another copy of the photos and videos you take, making it easy to organize and share them via Synology Photos.

Synology System Protection

• NAS backup to multiple destinations: Synology system data and the server itself are protected, with regular emergency backups saved to multiple locations. Built-in tools in Synology DSM support efficient backup of files, folders, or the entire system from the device to remote servers, external drives, or Synology and third-party cloud storage. Additionally, space-saving deduplication technology reduces the overall size of backups. Customizable backup scheduling and retention features provide maximum flexibility.
• High-frequency protection with snapshots: Snapshots shared folders and LUNs for up to 5 minutes to protect against data loss, accidental deletion, or malware attacks. You can also set custom retention schedules to restore files and virtual machines to a clean version.
