Glad that Synology is putting resources and effort to these videos that help users set up and understand how to take advantage of the NAS. They would even better if
1 the presenter spoke a wee bit slower and clearer. If the info is new to the listeners they need to take in the words and ideas. Racing through the statements with all the jargon makes it useful for those already familiar but not those that aren't

2 it would nice if the distinctions were made more clearly between sharing with NAS users and people that don't have an account on the NAS.. And difference between snapshots and versioning….

3 there are multiple options for backing up NAS files and it would be nice to explain those instead of just talking about HyperBackup and C2

At 33:45 you've spelled "Embedded" and "Embeddend". I thought I saw an earlier error as well, near the start, where "staition" was used instead of 'station". Can't find it quickly now.
Useful video though!! I'm about to go and buy a Synology NAS as my UPS and PSU fried 3 of 4 drives last week... a NAS with 4 drives is about the same cost as the data recovery cost...

[stefanhorig]

Audio Station is not up to date! please give them an update from functions and optic :) Video Station for Samsung TV is old and has no real good options ... Thanks!

[steven]

Thank you. @35:30 the footage is stuttering, as it does on mine 920+. How do we solve this? I have hundreds of 4k 60p home videos that play back flawlessly from my Mac but not from my 920+. Also, I don't see an option in Video Station for selecting multiple home movies ( using command + shift) to share simultaneously via a link . Thank you

[mrlilhobbes]

Is there a on demand sync option for macOS?

[cdelgadocr]

Hi, ¿how we can activate notification when someone is editing the same file in team folder?

[claystudiofx]

please fix this : i can't enable custom file filter when using cloud sync. I've reported this long time a go and still no solution.

[dougwhitmore]

After watching your videos I've realized that I've done everything wrong for the last 4 years, in regards to setup of my Nas. Is there a way for me to start completely over without losing my information?

[hassanpaywandi]

Hi
Can we have 2 separate fold for photo for 2 people so the photos are separate and not mixed. Also synce separately. One from Mac and one from pc? Thanks.

[urayys]

It would be nice if the app would work with my older android phone. Makes sense that my older phone would need to be able to backup photos, considering that it can hold a lot less than newer phones.

[lupoal]

again a huge amount of words but a point is still open... how to backupphotos from Android phone to Synology NAS keeping the album replecating, and keeping untouched, the album structure as already is inside the mobile ?
I have thousands of pictures inside the mobile... what is the solution to backup them WITHOUT applying tags to all of them from zero?

[thuongndinh]

Check email on the interface mobile device too bad. Please improve MailPlus function

[damospearzo]

Why did some " genius " at Synology decide to remove the ability to find and remove duplicate photos in Moments when they designed Synology Photos ?
That has to go down in history as the dumbest decision of a corporation in living memory, given how useful that feature was !!!

[byron_sg]

When will folder sync be ready on Synology Drive for iOS? It's ridiculous that your software gets worse & loses functionality instead of better!

On DS Cloud, you can sync entire folders whereas you can only mark individual files offline on Drive 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

You're doing your users such a disservice by pushing out new software that is missing existing features! 😡

[kittytwister]

Talking way too fast. Also, Synology Drive feels like a redundant process for just accessing files through the file manager if I'm using this for my home. ALSO when we get to the Sync part of the webinar it doesn't show us how he got there and I can't find out how to get there easily on my own. Part 1 was fantastic, part 2 feels like I might be wasting my time.

[michaelpaddon]

Too much in 1 video. Confusing. The guy doesn't talk clearly enough and too fast.
I guess they don't care too much about replying to comments either.

[AdrianEarnshawMusic]

Calling it 'Private Cloud' is a bit misleading. If your NAS is off you don't have access to those documents or files. A true cloud environment factors in redundancy if the main server goes down. A more correct term would be 'Private Storage'.

[GrantSR]

I am a former network manager. I'm over 4 minutes into the video, and it all just sounds like word salad. How the heck is this a "getting started" guide for home users? Home users don't give a crap about "converting all their weird documents to Synology Office file format. In fact, that is the last thing ANY home users is going to want to do.

There may be usable info in the rest of this video, but I'm not going to put myself through this kind of torture just on the off chance that there is.

[ruobytis]

Could you make a female version of video? I find his voice annoying... thanks!
