Not a big issue for myself, but I wouldn't be happy if I had it deployed for someone else.
#Goodsync synology update#
Recently, the update from 3.0.x to 3.1.x: When you have auto updates of the packages on your NAS enabled, the Drive Sync breaks because the Drive Client software also requires an update, but there is no auto update nor an appropriate message. I wouldn't be surprised to find out later some files are missing. But I'm no longer confident that it works flawlessly.
It seems to have completed its job afterwards. But the Drive Client application hung multiple times was completely stuck on one file until I closed Drive, deleted that one file, and restarted the Client, etc. I understand that despite gbit ethernet, downloading 750GB will take a while. So all data had to be synced (downloaded) again. I just recently formatted/reinstalled my desktop. The process eventually completes but it feels very brittle. It seems to check every file despite they all being 'online only' files at that point. forever?! Despite enabling Selective Sync. The initial Synology Drive setup on a new (Windows) device takes.
Import of my 750GB worth of data went relatively smooth. I bought a DS220+ with 2x 4TB WD Red Plus instead, and configured Synology Drive. Had some sync issues once but that turned out to be NTFS rights related. Did exactly what I wanted from a usage perspective, but I ditched pCloud because of trust issues (no zero-knowledge encryption, and horror stories of sudden account termination). All data available when online (P: drive). All my data synced (available offline) on my desktop, and a subset of the data synced on the notebooks.
#Goodsync synology manual#
On my desktop, notebook(s) and mobile devices on the go.Īt first I was using pCloud 2TB and had everything configured with manual selective sync pairs. I want/need all my data available everywhere. The ideal solution would be being able to recreate the directories' tree of my NAS inside a specific Dropbox folder.Tl dr: What do you think about Synology Drive? Is it up to its job for serious usage? I've also thought of GoodSync app (present on Synology's store) but, as far as I know, it cannot work as stand alone and create backup/sync jobs and it needs a GoodSync client running on a Win/Mac machine. I'm not a Linux expert and I don't even know if this thing is a good idea and can works or not. I thought to create in SSH another dir in my Volume1 and then create inside it as many alias (or hard links, if Synology's Linux supports them) that point to the actual folders I'm interested in backing up as the number of directories interested in this process, but unfortunately I was not able to do it.
Is there any trick to solve this problem?
Therefore I've installed the Synology app CloudSync and here the problem arises: the app gives me the chance to backup/sync on Dropbox with a just ONE folder, but I have many shared folders that I'd like to backup, each one with its own sharing permissions, quotas and settings.
#Goodsync synology trial#
I'm on a 30 days free trial with some colleagues for a Dropbox Team Advanced which comes with unlimited cloud space and I'd like to use it to backup most of my NAS' contents generally speaking I'm pretty happy with Dropbox, it's very user friendly and capable. I have a DS918+ with more than 27TB loaded, practically speaking all my digital life!
