I assume that is not possible with those (CM & BC) because the vault must be unlocked first? Documents, Pictures, Music) mapped to my locally synced Syno Drive folder. I currently have the different Windows user profile folders (e.g. Looks like Veracrypt with built-in cloud sync? I'll look into Cryptomator and Boxcryptor. Thank you very much for your suggestions. If you must use your Synology, and is dead set on Synology drive, I’d recommend you install the Tailscale Package and use that to connect instead of exposing the NAS.Įdit: if you sync the Cryptomator data to the Synology it will be encrypted, so perhaps a better solution would be to backup the data unencrypted from your desktop to the Synology. If you must use your Synology, I’d recommend something like Resilio Sync or Syncthing, which work well (Resilio is much better IMO, and the only one that supports selective sync), and they don’t require open firewall ports. If you sync your data locally and back that up (or snapshots), you’re doing 3-2-1 backups. Add to that unlimited file versioning for 30 days. OneDrive mirrors your files on 2 geographically different data centers, as well as with redundancy on each individual data center. With a public cloud provider, you let someone else handle the security of the platform, and depending on which cloud provider your choose, you also get much better data redundancy. If someone makes it into your NAS, you’re just one malware away from losing all your data, and Synology is usually not the fastest to release security updates. The risks of exposing your NAS to the internet are also not worth the trouble. Synology Drive is nice, but it’s (sometimes) slow, and gets stuck uploading files. Then use the cloud sync package on your Synology to synchronize data locally. They both encrypt your data before uploading it to the cloud, so you no longer have to trust your cloud provider. The first one is open source, and free for desktop usage, with a one time purchase for mobile use. I’m a long time Synology user (since the DS-101j), and in my opinion you’d be better off using public cloud with Cryptomator or Boxcryptor on top. Seafile is opensource software to self-host, but I'm a bit scared what happens if anything goes wrong (hardware wise, how to recover from that).Īny ideas / input? What do you use? Is Synology Drive capable and trustworthy? And I don't know how stable it will be once I import my 750GB of data. Tresorit looks fine, runs on EU AWS but costs €290 a year for 2.5TB which is quite expensive. software looks like it is from 2004 and is hosted in Canada & USA, a no go for West-European me. I've been looking to ditch my NAS because I can't 100% trust Synology software at this point, but I have a hard time finding better alternatives. Not a big issue for myself, but I wouldn't be happy if I had it deployed for someone else. Recently, the update from 3.0.x to 3.1.x: When you have auto updates of the packages on your NAS enabled, the Drive Sync breaks because the Drive Client software also requires an update, but there is no auto update nor an appropriate message. I wouldn't be surprised to find out later some files are missing. But I'm no longer confident that it works flawlessly. It seems to have completed its job afterwards. But the Drive Client application hung multiple times was completely stuck on one file until I closed Drive, deleted that one file, and restarted the Client, etc. I understand that despite gbit ethernet, downloading 750GB will take a while. So all data had to be synced (downloaded) again. I just recently formatted/reinstalled my desktop. The process eventually completes but it feels very brittle. It seems to check every file despite they all being 'online only' files at that point. forever?! Despite enabling Selective Sync. The initial Synology Drive setup on a new (Windows) device takes. Import of my 750GB worth of data went relatively smooth. I bought a DS220+ with 2x 4TB WD Red Plus instead, and configured Synology Drive. Had some sync issues once but that turned out to be NTFS rights related. Did exactly what I wanted from a usage perspective, but I ditched pCloud because of trust issues (no zero-knowledge encryption, and horror stories of sudden account termination). All data available when online (P: drive). All my data synced (available offline) on my desktop, and a subset of the data synced on the notebooks. On my desktop, notebook(s) and mobile devices on the go.Īt first I was using pCloud 2TB and had everything configured with manual selective sync pairs. I want/need all my data available everywhere. Tl dr: What do you think about Synology Drive? Is it up to its job for serious usage?
