Achieving Optimal Business Productivity Achieving Optimal Business Productivity Synology Drive is designed to optimize the overall workplace productivity. Its architecture is compatible with most existing business environments and its robust features are adaptable to various workplace scenarios requiring file synchronization and backup, cross-site collaboration, hybrid cloud integration, and more. Centralized File Management With Drive serving as a platform for centralizing data, Synology NAS is the next-generation file server designed to solve common management challenges including the rising Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) trend. In addition to data centralization, Drive offers file management and synchronization solutions to provide a unified portal for accessing files on NAS. With all the data stored on the on-premise cloud, employees can simply browse files via any mainstream web browsers. Files can also be managed and shared simply through Team Folder and the customizable labels on Drive, without the hassle of storing files on external devices or attaching files to emails. Our versioning technology allows corporate users to retain multiple versions of file copies on a centralized portal and effortlessly retrieve specific versions whenever needed. For a company needing to keep multiple file versions for different purposes, the First-in-first-out rotation policy is suitable for keeping the most recent file copies, such as annual financial reports updated regularly at the end of every year. Our patented Intelliversioning technology retains the most important file versions and can be applied to files modified during a specific time period. This feature, for example, can be used when users need to modify a press release article numerous times to produce a top-notch article within three days before a product launch.
