Could you add timestamps for these longer videos?

[klubberizer]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It’s very helpful not only knowing what the various packages are used for but also knowing which ones are most useful. Saves a ton of time vs doing the research on my own. Synology should hire you to do training videos for them 😊

looking forward to the in depth explanations of the useful ones.
Mainly interested in syncing notes and docs on my phone, tablet and pc.

This was extremely helpful. You can waste days just wondering if/what/when you should install an app and what settings to use as well.

Thanks for going so deep into Synology

[NuttyMan]

That was brilliant. I bet your tired after all that, but it was so useful. Thank you very much

[beefjerkeyS]

Bro thank you so much for going through all this

there are few underestimated packages,
DHCP Server can be useful when having a dedicated network port on NAS for direct connection, and be able connect various devices without setting static IPs on every device, or buying another router for that mini network;
Migration Assistant might prove handy when having two NASes and wanting to expand volume with bigger drives, theoretically would be faster and safer to mirror/migrate and then swap drives, having two full copies of data with all the configs

How can you possibly only have 63k subscribers?!!! You are a gold mine!

[coedshowers]

the active backup is amazing, its like a paid acronis liense but 100% free, teamed with hyper backup to amazon C2.

WOW one of the most informatives videos about DSM that I have seen. THANK you for taking the time and explain all of the apps available. I just subscribe to this channel.

[JaqUkto]

I’ve been looking for such an overview, thank you!

[gumse]

Great video. Half of the packages are not available on my DS218j, but it's nice to know abut them anyway.

[bodinian]

Excellent video as always! Just something I noticed from watching a lot of them is your breathing sounds mildly labored. Check with your doctor in case there's an underlying condition you may not be aware of.

[hellomihai]

incredibly useful... helped me find Antivirus Essentials

[rogera]

Thank you for all your explanations they are very helpfull.
I was wondering if there is a possibility to backup my whole i-Cloud drive instead of google

[MattKurkowski]

I hope there are some Synology deals for prime day.

[MarkGray-jkpx]

Can you do a video on how you can create a new backup template and apply it to a large number of PCs. It seems really user unfriendly from what I've seen. Its a shame the backup schedule does not include options like monthly which seems very basic. Thanks.

I would use the Teamviewer Package, but only issue is.
Can only be used when the host is running WINDOWS.
DSM is a linux based OS
I run linux.
Why cant I use linux as my OS?

Please note that Media Server has a MAC address access list that lets you control which devices can see your media. Media server is great for allowing devices such as Blu-ray players to play movies stored on your NAS. It is not an uncontrolled free-for-all.
