In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses how to sync two Synology NAS devices located in different geographic locations. This feature is especially beneficial for businesses with multiple offices, as it allows them to maintain identical file systems and sync changes between offices with minimal latency. The setup ensures local network speeds for each office, eliminating the high latency and bandwidth issues of a single NAS accessed remotely. However, the presenter warns about potential conflicts if two people edit the same document simultaneously due to the inherent latency. Additionally, this setup is valuable for video editors working remotely, enabling them to sync raw files to multiple NAS devices. The presenter advises considering the upload speeds when syncing large files and hints at an in-depth future video on setting this up for video production environments.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how small business owners can benefit from having a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) at home for easy data access and a secondary copy of their data. They highlight that Synology Drive can sync two file systems, providing an added layer of data security, but suggest using Hyper Backup for a more robust backup solution. They outline the steps to set up Synology Drive, which involves installing the software on two NAS devices, ensuring one is accessible via DDNS, VPN server, or QuickConnect. The speaker recommends using a VPN server for better security and shares a tutorial link for setup. They demonstrate logging into the NAS, enabling a folder as a team folder, and configuring versioning to manage and rotate file versions effectively.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses setting up Synology Drive for a 30-day retention period, recommending users to start with a higher duration and adjust based on storage needs. They explain syncing files between two NAS devices, suggesting an initial local network setup for faster synchronization, using Synology Drive ShareSync. The process includes entering a domain name, username, and password (preferably an admin account) and ensuring SSL usage for security. For remote setups, the speaker advises using QuickConnect or a VPN. They demonstrate selecting a folder to share sync and conclude by discussing potential folder name conflicts and merging changes.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses setting up Synology Drive ShareSync to sync files between two NAS devices. They show how the files from one device are now available on the other and explain the concept of merging folders. The presenter suggests that sending a hard drive with the same file structure can help with the initial setup without needing both devices in the same location. They demonstrate the process over a local 10-gigabit connection, highlighting fast download speeds and configuration options like syncing specific folders and file filters. By mounting shared folders from both NAS devices, they illustrate adding a new file and how quickly it syncs between them. This method is touted as beneficial for offices needing swift file synchronization, especially for word documents, ensuring that work isn’t delayed. The video concludes by noting that if one site goes offline, any changes made will merge once both sites are back online. This showcases the efficiency and reliability of Synology Drive ShareSync.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a feature beneficial for businesses that handle large data sets and require quick file access. They announce an upcoming in-depth video on setting up Synology Drive Share Sync for video production houses with multiple editors working remotely. The speaker invites viewers to request tutorials in the comments and mentions an option to sponsor the channel for early access to videos.
