The video emphasizes the advantages and processes of syncing two Synology NAS devices across different locations, making it ideal for businesses with distributed offices or remote workers. Key benefits include maintaining identical file systems without overwhelming the network by only transferring changes, offering a robust solution for video editors and other professionals who work with large files. The speaker details the setup of Synology Drive on multiple NAS devices, incorporating secure access methods such as DDNS, VPN, or Quick Connect, and explains the importance of versioned backups using Hyper Backup.
Initial configurations involve local syncing to handle large files faster, followed by remote syncing with secure SSL connections. The process is demonstrated through real-time file synchronization, showcasing easy and efficient file sharing and retention strategies. Physical shipment of hard drives for initial setup is also discussed, enhancing practicality for distant offices. The video concludes with an invitation for viewer engagement and the announcement of a comprehensive tutorial targeting video production teams.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how to sync two different Synology NAS devices located across great distances, making it particularly advantageous for businesses. This synchronization allows offices in different locations to maintain identical file systems, ensuring any changes in one NAS are mirrored in the other without incurring the latency and bandwidth issues typical of a single remote NAS setup. Only changes are sent over the network rather than multiple copies of the same document, significantly reducing network strain. The speaker warns, however, of potential conflicts if two people try to edit the same document simultaneously. They also highlight practical uses, such as enabling video editors to work from home by syncing raw files to each editor’s NAS device, while recommending that large files be uploaded from locations with the highest upload speeds. The speaker expresses plans to create a detailed video on setting up this system for video editors.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a setup for small business owners to use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) at home for easy data access and additional data security. They emphasize the importance of having versions of data to quickly switch over in case one NAS fails. For strict backups, the speaker recommends using Hyper Backup for its robustness against file corruptions. The speaker then explains the setup process of Synology Drive on two NAS devices, with recommendations for secure access via DDNS, VPN server, or Quick Connect. They illustrate logging into the NAS, setting up a folder in the Synology Drive admin console, enabling it as a team folder, and configuring versioning options to efficiently manage file storage and retention.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to set up and use Synology Drive to sync files between two different NAS devices. They highlight that the system merges folders and maintains file integrity, enabling easy initial setup even over long distances by shipping a hard drive. They show fast syncing capabilities over a 10-gigabit local connection and explain configuration options like selective folder syncing and file filters. The presenter further demonstrates real-time file sync by adding a new file to one NAS and observing its immediate appearance on the other, emphasizing the system’s usefulness for dynamic office environments with shared file systems. Finally, they mention that files can be modified offline and changes will merge when reconnected. The segment concludes the tutorial on Synology Drive ShareSync.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker highlights the benefits of a specific feature for businesses dealing with large data sets that require immediate access to files. They announce an upcoming in-depth tutorial on setting up Synology Drive’s Share Sync, specifically targeting video production houses with multiple editors in different locations. The speaker also invites viewers to suggest tutorial topics in the comments and mentions the option to sponsor the channel for early video access.
