I'm new to NAS and I've watched dozens of videos about Synology software, yours are the only ones I fully understand. Thank you for your efforts!

[christianfischer]

That's by far the best Video I've seen covering Synology Drive. You're explaining all the details. Thank you!

I've had my NAS for a year and only realized from this video that I could automatically sync my important working files instead of doing it all manually! You saved me time and gave me additional peace of mind! Thanks!

Absolutely the BEST instructions! I converted from Synology's Cloud Station to Synology Drive be viewing your video and walking step-by-step through the process on my PC. Thank you so much for such clear instructions. I'm off n' running with the new Drive backup thanks to you...

Very great instructional and informational on things I didn't even know after owning a synology for a few years. You cleared up a lot of things for me that were always kind of question marks. Thank you!

I'm not done watching the video, but I've already Thumps-Up and wanted to comment saying THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video - I was pretty sure this functionality existed in the Synology ecosystem but wasn't sure where to find it - I will be revisiting this video a couple of times in the near future to configure my sync setup - Thanks again !

Complete and through explanation, this is the third Wunder Tech video I have watched tonight, made me realize, I am only likely using 15% of the capability of the NAS. Thank You.

Thanks. I was able to 1) realize I needed this SD, and 2) back-up my important folders to the NAS.

Explained everything in plain language and answered all the questions I had on this subject. Excellent content. This NAS keeps surprising me with it's capabilities and functions. Thanks

EXCELLENT Tutorial... The way you provided the information was very easy to understand and user friendly for any person to follow. Thank you so much and I greatly appreciate what you are providing for the Synology users. Any and all information is useful information. Please keep up the Great Work. IT IS GREATLY

Very clear tutorial Thanks so much for putting together! 👌 - 2 small questions if you don't mind -
1. How does one distinguish between use cases of sync and backup? Is it overkill to have a Sync job AND a backup job - especially given that I might be the only one accessing the files in my account?
2. I see in at 12:41 in the Drive portal, there is a "Computer Backup" folder, but I couldn't see how that was created

Excellent presentation straight to the point. This has open the understanding that i was lacking with this technology. Keep up the great work. I certainly appreciate your Method of instructions.

[stephenhall]

Excellent clear tutorial. Thanks! I want to try using this for a single user Linux and Windows clients shared code repository. Wouldn't work for multiple users but that's fine because I'm just me.

straight to the point. No bull$h%t. Audio is perfect and the screen capture spot on. Well done

[StuffOffYouStuff]

Thanks. This helped me understand it a bit more. Reading the help files you don't always get a sense of what the mean until someone show syou

[danbernskoetter]

Finally I found someone who can explain this too me.

[titotiti]

Excelente!! La explicación la he entendido mejor que muchos videos en español. Gracias

[ИванТерехин-жщ]

Thank you, I found an exact answer to my question about sync tasks after 10 video of "how to install Synolgy drive client..." ))

[gmhermosa]

Thanks for your efforts! The tutorial was very informative. However, I do have a few questions if you don't mind.
1. I'm pretty confused between "sync" and "backup." So, let's say I already synced my folder (from my PC) to the NAS. If something happens to my PC, can I still access those files from the NAS using a different or new PC? And then eventually, re-sync that same folder to the that PC you'll be using?
2. Can this be configured wherein the admin can access all users' sync folders while user's can only access their own?
Thanks!
