g'day - I'm very new to synology - in fact have just ordered the nas but haven't received it yet..... have been reading about various things though in preparation and there's one thing I want to do that I haven't been able to find any answers about
Basically - google Photos is and will always be my master copy of photos and videos - we have many differnet devices - all the family phones, cameras and other things feeding to google - and we use the sharing features heavily.
What I want on top of that is to have a live backup on the NAS - ie if a photo gets added to google photos, it appears on the nas within about 1/2 hour after that with no human intervention. It sounds simple enough, but I can't find anything on the net about doing it - I find lots of people talking about doing a once off dump from google, but none talking about a set-it-and-forget-it ongoing sync.
I know I can do it by just running the google drive/backup and sync app on one of my PCs - setting the photos to be backed up and pointing at the NAS as the location - but that seems a kludge and adds dependencies on another machine. is there any way of doing it directly from the NAS?
Thanks,
Darren
