![]() ![]() Once the QuickConnect is configured on the NAS, you can use a laptop browser to connect to Synology FileStation on the NAS: and even work with files from the browser. CloudStation DRIVE allows for 'selective sync' where the user would choose what files to sync. I believe there was also the issue that it would be a LOT of data to be synchronized. As the screenshot indicates, the connection is secured via SSL.Īdditionally I would encrypt the laptop's drive with BitLocker or VeraCrypt. Next you configure which CloudStation SERVER enabled Shared Folder is connected to which local folder on the laptop.Īt completion of the connection wizard, files are synchronized. To use the Cloud Station you need to have set up your QuickConnect ID first, but we already did that initially so were all set. Use this QuickConnect ID in configuring the connection in CloudStation DRIVE on your laptops. Enable QuickConnect in the Synology Control Panel and define a QuickConnect ID. There are two ways: Synology QuickConnect (a form of DDNS) or use a company internet domain name. On the workstations, you'll have to configure a connection in CloudStation DRIVE to the CloudStation SERVER on the NAS. If Desktop2 makes a change to a file on the local folder "Project X", it will be synced to File Share "Project X" on the NAS and subsequently to the local folder "Project X" on Laptop1. With this solution, you'll have your data on both the NAS and each of the laptops, in sync. Synchronization is near real time and secure. +-> Desktop2 with CloudStation DRIVEĪ workstation with the Synology "CloudStation Drive" client application allows to connect a local folder on the workstation with a CloudStation SERVER enabled Shared Folder.

Synchronization is via a secure direct connection between the laptop and the NAS. I install Synology Drive client, try to setup a Sync task and the the client software defaults to syncing a new folder on my laptop called SynologyDrive, with a NAS/server folder underneath the home share/folder called 'CloudStation'. Have you already looked at CloudStation SERVER instead of Cloud Station SYNC? I always felt that CloudStation SYNC is more like a light backup solution for backing up NAS data encrypted to a cloud provider.ĬloudStation SERVER allows you to enable Shared Folders on the NAS for synchronization with laptops (Windows or MacOS) in the field via Synology CloudStation DRIVE. You're still struggling with a setup for working remotely and securely with files from the NAS? (see Synology Cloud Sync : How to read encrypted files in the cloud?) ![]()
