Synology Drive

Transform your Synology NAS into your own private cloud with 100% data ownership at zero additional cost.

Any time, any platform

Access files 24/7 from desktop and mobile platforms.

Synchronization and backup

Keep your files always up-to-date and protected.

Smooth collaboration

Edit spreadsheets, documents, and slides together with Synology Office.

Powerful data management

Track how files are accessed and shared with powerful admin tools.

Work seamlessly across devices

Work across computers in continuity using the desktop app. It's still your native Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu interface, but any changes you make to a file are automatically synced to other devices as soon as they're connected.

Sync on demand

Stream files to your device only when they are requested¹ to save local disk space and bandwidth, or pin them to your computer to permanently keep a local copy.

Go back in time

Restore previous file or folder versions directly on your device. Synology’s Intelliversioning algorithm saves space by keeping only the versions with the most significant changes over time.

Back up your files

Protect your data from ransomware attacks or accidental deletion with real-time or scheduled backup of important folders.

Collaborate in real time

Say goodbye to single-user file editing. Work on spreadsheets, documents, and slides together with your team members with full Synology Office integration.

Inside and out

Share documents within and outside your organization by converting them between Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument ODF and ODS formats, and Synology Office versions.

Quick previewing

Preview over 100 different file types, including PDF, ZIP, and PSD, directly in your browser. No need to download or open files in new tabs.

Simplified file management

Synology Drive makes it easy to manage files and folders in your personal space, shared team folders, and items shared with you. Easily view files shared in an intuitive interface.
