Multi-Site Synchronisation to Empower Global Workflows
    NAS-to-NAS Synchronisation
    Improve workflow efficiency and team alignment across data sites with automatic one- or two-way site-to-site syncing.

    Cloud-Powered Multi-Site Syncing
    Empower global workflows with high-speed access to data from anywhere in your network. Our hybrid cloud solution caches frequently used files locally for rapid access, while less frequently accessed data is stored in the cloud, reducing your on-site storage requirements.

    Sync to Public Cloud Providers
    Automatically keep data in sync between Synology NAS and major cloud providers, including BackBlaze B2, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Multiple protocol support, client-side encryption, and customisation sync and bandwidth controls enable efficient storage management across various platforms.
