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.
PROSwhen 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.
CONSI 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.
PROSI 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.
CONSIt 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.

Synology Drive good, nice and cheap.
We use it daily in the company I work with for common documents.
PROSA private drive where the capacity limit is set by you with your NAS and its disks. Relatively easy to set up as a server and very easy to install as a client. I use it daily to sync and share files with co-workers.
CONSSome client workstations sometimes lose synchronization and must be reinstalled.
Reason for choosing Synology Drive
Private cloud and capacity managed by the NAS disks you want to add.

Great for smaller businesses
You don't have to pay monthly subscriptions for all users. Everything is always being backup by local drives so you have full control of that data.
CONSWe had a black outage on the Synology in a case that all of our harddisks crashed completely. Resulting in a loss of all data. Synology told us that this was a rare case using older harddisks, but that doesn't bring back our data...

Simple but gets the job done
I really like the setup process for Synology Drive. Users simply enter the QuickConnect ID and Synology Drive does the magic to find the server. Configuring the sync/backup folders is straightforward and intuitive.
CONSThe client seems a bit CPU-intensive and causes my laptop fans to spin up when syncing large quantities of files (a new folder or relinked task, for example). The client also just seems laggy, taking several seconds to display menus at times. I also wish the client did a better job of resolving locked or unreadable files; the Drive client says there is an error but doesn't give any option to find out how to resolve the problem or what may be causing it.

Strumento archivio per dati facile e sicuro
Facile da usare soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi, inoltre ha molte funzionalità ovviamente pagando. Molto stabile ovunque tu sia per lavorare.
CONSPurtroppo manca la prova gratuita e la versione gratuita, di conseguenza chi non ha mai provato questo programma lo deve acquistare e basta.
