For 15 year I was using a Seagate Goflex drive for backing up important files, "Family photos, program settings and such." Recently it gave up and I started researching options and came across Synology NAS. Took a little work setting up but resolved everything and it seems to be working. I was looking for a backup program and fortunately my old Memeo premium that came with the Goflex worked. I like that as it automatically grabs new or updated files without me having to add them.

I recently caught a video, "always after the fact," titled "NAS Madness! Qnap Qlocker Ransomware, Synology BTRFS Controversy and Protecting Yourself!." So I disabled Quick connect and am considering a VPN, although I heard it's a hassle to connect from outside to the NAS.

Just one question. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra that is currently backed up to the PC and OneCloud. Is there a way to have it use the NAS instead. Also, any tutorials on tips or uses would be appreciated! TIA

If you can instal Drive app on that Note 20 then you can use it to put content to a nas directly.

Consult our Info - About backups (desktop, mobile, NAS, sync, cloud) forum section on all backup tools and options and ask back if you have questions.

I was looking for something more automatic! Example: I have an AT&T app that watches My Gallery for new photos I take or ad to the gallery. it than automatically send it to the AT&T cloud!

Rusty. I've been looking around on the play store and Synology Package center. It seems that the Moments package is exactly what I wanted. When I take a photo on my cell it automatically uploads it to the Synology. Thank You!
