Data management
Users can store documents and photos in one centralised location. The system automatically sorts uploaded media into albums based on recognised faces or geographical data. Organising extensive photo and video libraries is handled directly within the integrated Synology Photos application. You can access your data via a web browser and mobile apps.
Cross-platform synchronisation
The Synology Drive service supports file access from computers running Windows, Mac, or Linux, as well as mobile devices. The system automatically synchronises files and folders between servers using the Synology Drive ShareSync feature. Connecting local storage with public clouds simplifies file management on platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive. Teams can collaborate in real time within the Synology Office environment.
Secure backup
Data loss protection includes automatic uploads of photos from mobile phones. Scheduled, real-time backups protect computers running Windows or macOS. Prevention against ransomware attacks uses file versioning to restore earlier states. The Hyper Backup tool transfers backups of the entire system to various external locations.
Btrfs file system
The modern Btrfs file system protects stored data from accidental corruption. An auto-repair feature detects file errors and restores them without user intervention. The fast snapshot technology for shared folders is used to restore data to a specific point in time. Snapshot Replication helps copy these snapshots to remote storage locations.
Surveillance system
The storage unit functions as a surveillance hub thanks to the Surveillance Station application. The system supports the connection of ONVIF-compatible devices. Watch live streams from security cameras in real time on your computer or phone. Two free camera licences are included as standard.
Multimedia server and power consumption
The device operates with a quiet 92×92mm fan, which maintains an operating temperature between 0°C and 40°C. The low noise level of 18.2dB(A) contributes to quiet operation in a home environment. Typical power consumption during operation is 16.31W, which drops to 4W in hard drive hibernation mode. DLNA support enables media streaming to televisions.
