(LINKS BELOW): The third in my series of videos on using fast 10Gbe Network Attached Storage (NAS) for creative users, this video details how you can use your NAS to create your own cloud storage system. Using @synologyinc Drive’s PC, Mac, Android and iOS apps then enables you to upload, download, back up, sync and share data on your own cloud server from anywhere in the world, all with no storage limits or monthly fees.

Great video and useful info. I've been using Synology for 10 years now and they are very reliable and super flexible. I still have them backing up to paid cloud storage as another safe option though am less concerned about the cost tbh.
Do you cover moving photos to this NAS thing and how to fix Lightroom to find the photos in the new location?
Excellent discussion of an important topic for photographers. Thanks for doing the work on this Hudson. I ended up doing a lot of research on my own. Your tutorial would have saved me a great deal of time. I did want the safety and capacity of a RAID attached storage device for my home computer. I don't need to share access, or have remote access, so I opted for the speed and ease of use a Direct Access Storage device (DAS) similar to what you said you originally wanted. I ended up with a very simple 2 drive box RAID box with 24 terabytes giving me 12 terabytes of storage. I have it protected with a UPS, and directly backed up off line without the intermediate drive you mentioned. Setting up is super easy with basically a DIP Switch hardware setting system. You have said that Synology doesn't offer this option, but other brands do if people are interested. I will not mention the device brand I used in case that conflicts with your channel. I just thought some might find a DAS more suited to their needs.
Great video explaining the practical applications of Synology Drive. When you touch on the topic of losing mains power to the NAS, for security of your data a UPS battery backup is essential. There is a higher risk that with storage pools, the NAS can become corrupted if data is moving when the NAS loses power. You really need a UPS for solid data protection. You can go into power settings in DSM and setup the UPS (get one with a USB connectivity to it can talk to and from the UPS/NAS) and create tasks so it shuts down the NAS at a given time should the power go off.
Thank you. I have been waiting for this for my Synology NAS. Can you load iPhone photos directly to the NAS as you would do to Apple iCloud? Best G
Unbelievable timing – I have a Synology 1522+ being delivered today, I watched your setup video last night and after q morning coffee sat down at my computer to discover ATS 284. Think I'll dash down to the shops and get a lottery ticket.
This is so thoroughly put together with the earlier videos is the best I have come across to explaining the benefits
Excellent. I’ve used Synology for years as my personal I iCloud, though their Photos app leaves a lot to be desired! Happy 2024 to you all
