Flexible file server
Use the DS1823xs+ as a central file repository and data sharing hub. Provide easy access to business data from PCs, phones, and other devices, and set up powerful cross-site syncing to empower collaboration between offices or branches.

Private cloud
A private cloud suite for file sharing
Empower your entire organisation with a streamlined ability to access, share, and sync data from anywhere. Provide employees with access to corporate files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface. Set granular file and folder access and sharing permissions. Maintain a full overview of file activities and track file share settings changes with detailed records in the Synology Drive Admin Console.

Dependable and secure network storage
Use shared folders on your Synology device as reliable storage available from anywhere on your local network over all common protocols (SMB/NFS/WebDAV/FTP). Protect your files against accidental changes and removal or even malware attacks with built-in snapshot technology and other backup options.

Cross-site syncing
Secure site-to site file and folder syncing
Make sure branches always have up-to-date copies of crucial documents and data available locally by syncing Synology systems one or two-way using Synology Drive ShareSync. Have files updated across locations each time there is a change to efficiently keep all stakeholders on the same page.

Efficient cross-site syncing through the cloud
Boost syncing speeds, cut bandwidth use, and reduce your storage footprint by leveraging the powerful connectivity of Synology’s data centres. Synology Hybrid Share intelligently synchronises data to Synology devices. Large or less frequently accessed files are stored on the cloud to reduce local storage requirements, while frequently used files are stored on local devices to provide users access at LAN speeds.

Backup repository
Back up files, folders, physical devices, VMs, and SaaS applications with free solutions, and protect your NAS with built-in technologies.
