Our introduction to the Synology NAS

You need to read this if you have several gadgets spread across your home, like smartphones, laptops, intelligent sound systems, Smart TVs and more. With your devices situated in your bedroom, front room, and across the house, are you looking for a device that can keep all your photos, films, songs and files from your gadgets in one location that is safe, easy-to-use and readily accessible?

Sharing photos and movies

With thousands of files stored across all your gadgets, finding specific photos, documents and videos can become a real headache. With a Synology NAS, however, you could consolidate all of these files in one location. Simply upload all the files and each device connected to the NAS and this works without a glitch. Once it was done, you will be able to find exactly what you needed in seconds. No more frustrating searches across all your devices and drives. A click on an app, and there are your photos. You could even tag them like Facebook, search by location or share them online publicly or privately.

Safe and Secure

Now you have all your files in one place, you should be concerned about what would happen if your NAS was damaged or your hard drives failed. No need to worry.. with Synology, you can setup RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) very easily. Enabling RAID means you can save to your NAS as usual and if a drive failed, you would have a backup already stored. Also, if you needed to replace any of the drives in your NAS, you can simply restore data as if nothing happened.

Much more than a NAS

The more you use your NAS, the more you will wonder how you ever managed without it. Sharing photos and movies with friends and family, or sharing files with colleagues at work was simplicity itself. And you can do it from anywhere there is an Internet/WiFi connection, even over 4G with your smart phone.

Your Synology NAS is full of surprises, going way beyond what you expect from NAS drives. With the free apps, you are able to use it as a home server, streaming all the content from your GoPro, as well as the movies and TV shows you have stored, straight to your Smart TV. When friends and family stay over, you can even stream movies, or music, to different rooms of the house... all from this one NAS.
