A private cloud for all your devices
Store, sync, and access data from any device, wherever you are with Synology’s private cloud solution. Sync data between different platforms and devices, and access your files through mobile apps, desktop clients, and a browser-based interface. Leverage smart versioning to back up important data via desktop and mobile applications.

Dependable and secure network storage
Use shared folders on your Synology device as reliable storage available from anywhere on your local network over all common protocols (SMB/NFS/WebDAV/FTP). Protect your files against accidental changes and removal or even malware attacks with built-in snapshot technology and other backup options.

Sort, manage, and share your files
Rely on our file, photo, and multimedia management apps to sort your data by metadata, filters, and labels. Safely share files and folders with family, colleagues, or business customers thanks to granular access and sharing permissions. Create convenient sharing links and secure shared files with expiration dates and individual passwords. Let friends or clients review photos remotely and give easy feedback through star ratings.

Sync files and folders between sites

Sync folders one or two-way between Synology devices using Synology Drive ShareSync, a free site-to-site solution. Or choose to leverage our secure data centers to store your data in the cloud, while keeping a cache of frequently accessed or manually pinned files on your DS1522+ with Synology Hybrid Share. Such hybrid cloud storage lets you access data at LAN speeds without being limited by your local storage size or bandwidth.
