Free Storage Drive

Synology Drive is great for small and medium businesses, with unlimited capacity and with an unlimited number of users, all that on-premise and one-time pay.

PROS

when you buy a Synology appliance you can take advantage of the features for free, one of them is Synology Drive and you can create an unlimited number of Synology Drive accounts, and the Drive Server setup is amazing and very friendly.

CONS

I see that sometimes there is some lag in data transferring and after the diagnostic, we found that the CPU and the RAm on the Synology appliance are full of use. we cant update the CPU so we have to replace the device with an upper series.

Reason for choosing Synology Drive

Ability to set up on-premise for Synology Drive On contrary to Google Drive and Dropbox.

Reasons for switching to Synology Drive

save money.

Easy to use!

Overall, I'm happy with it's performance.. reliable, accessible. Now I can keep all my files in a well organised way.

PROS

I mainly bought this drive for cloud storage and file sharing and syncing the file the same time. It works as It's aims for. The most useful for me is I can even use at work. Some of the cloud storage like Dropbox is restricted to use at our workplace for safety reasons. It didn't allow me to reach to the site. But with synology, I can easily access my file from anywhere. The mobile drive is also user friendly and I am happy with my purchase.

CONS

It would be better if they allow all types of file to view and edit without downloading. Another thing is I think it should be simpler means of viewing the file by double clicking it. When you use computer for so long, I am sure most agree with me.. double clicking the left button of the mouse mean opening the file. But with synology files, it means downloading! It happened so many times with me. Such a painful and waste my time.
