Bellevue, WA (August 5, 2024)— Synology recently released Hybrid Share 1.4.2, a significant upgrade to its hybrid cloud solution designed to empower cross-site collaboration with enhanced performance and reliability.

What's new in Hybrid Share 1.4.2

Hybrid Share 1.4.2 drastically improved upload speeds, optimizing cross-site collaboration and data synchronization. In real-world testing, Synology utilized a user's file structure containing both large and small files to upload data to C2 Storage for Hybrid Share. For 52TB of data comprising roughly 8,000,000 files, the total upload time decreased by 67%. Similarly, for 23TB of data comprising roughly 3,500,000 files, the total upload time decreased by 68%.

The improvement is particularly prevalent in identical small file uploads. Synology's testing shows that upload time for 5,000 identical small files has decreased from 16 minutes to 2.5 minutes, an 80% reduction:
