5.5 Cloud Sync
Connect your Synology NAS with Google Drive, Dropbox, and other public cloud services to
create your own hybrid cloud. Choose between one-way or two-way synchronization to back
up or sync data between your private NAS and public clouds.
You can use one-way synchronization to back up data from your Synology NAS to public
clouds, or the other way around. File changes on the destination side of the synchronization
will not affect the source.
Meanwhile, two-way synchronization keeps files on your Synology NAS and in the public cloud
identical, automatically uploading and downloading changes on both sides.
One folder can be synced to more than one public cloud or to several accounts on the same
cloud to create multiple backups of your files. You can select exactly which files on your
Synology NAS or the public cloud you wish to synchronize, and in which direction.
