Synology Launches BeeStation Plus: High-Speed Cloud Experience for Homes and Teams With Higher Demands

Taipei, Taiwan—20 May 2025— Synology announced the launch of BeeStation Plus, the latest addition to its plug-and-play BeeStation lineup. With 8 TB of storage and up to 4.8x the performance¹, BeeStation Plus gives families, creative teams, and professionals the freedom to access, organize, and enjoy their digital world—without missing a beat.

"The BeeStation lineup was designed to let everyday users benefit from a cloud-like environment without needing advanced storage or networking knowledge," said Mayi, Product Manager at Synology. "Since launching the first BeeStation, we've seen strong interest from people looking for larger storage capacity and expanded capabilities, to run more applications and better support families and teams working and sharing together. BeeStation Plus is our answer to those needs."

All Your Files and Photos, Always Within Reach

BeeStation Plus automatically backs up memories from phone, computer, cloud photo library, and external storage all in one place. With built-in local AI, it helps users instantly find photos of people or subjects, without sending any data to the cloud.

Personal files, schoolwork, and projects are just as easy to keep organized. Whether from cloud drives, external drives, or computers, BeeStation Plus brings everything together for easier browsing, smarter searches, and faster sharing.

Home Theater Powered by Plex Media Server

BeeStation Plus comes with built-in Plex Media Server support, making it easy to turn users' media collection into a personal streaming library. Store favorite movies, TV shows, and home videos in one place, and enjoy seamless access across TV, phone, or tablet—whether relaxing at home or on the move.²

Data Protection by Default

BeeStation Plus combines snapshot-based restore points with a free three-month BeeProtect cloud backup subscription, making 3-2-1 backup achievable in minutes. Designed to make offsite backup affordable, BeeProtect helps users recover their data even in cases of theft or disaster, with end-to-end encryption ensuring only the owner can decrypt and access their files.

Availability

BeeStation Plus is available for purchase starting today on the Synology website and through official partners and resellers worldwide.

Note

1 Based on Synology's internal testing using BeeStation 4 TB as a benchmark. When two computers (an Intel i5 Windows laptop and an M2 MacBook Air) simultaneously transfer files to BeeStation, desktop syncing on BeeStation Plus is up to 4.8 times as fast, and web uploads up to 3.8 times as fast. Mobile photo backup from an iPhone 15 Pro is up to 2.6 times as fast. Actual performance may vary depending on factors such as network conditions, device specifications, and file types.

2 Hardware-accelerated streaming, remote streaming, and certain other Plex features require an active Plex Pass subscription.
