Note Station
Collect, organize, and get things done
We live in an era where such large amounts of information are dealt with every day, sometimes it's difficult to process everything. That’s where Note Station comes in. The new Synology Web Clipper captures any web page directly in a Chrome window, allowing you to quickly create a new note and save it for future reference. If actions are required, you can create independent to-do items or attach them to different notes, set priorities, and get reminders. Learn more
Cloud Station & Cloud Sync
Smooth, secure, private file syncing
These days you probably work and play on multiple screens throughout the day, such as your office computer, home laptop, or mobile device. To ensure everything is accessible at all times, Cloud Station now delivers smoother performance with smart polling and customizable file versioning for each shared folder. Also, Cloud Sync now offers one-way sync options, making things easier when backing up data to a public cloud or vice versa, while data encryption guarantees files sent to the public cloud remain for your eyes only.

Backup & Replication
Single file restoration and smart version control
Your important data should be protected with a flexible backup strategy, so Backup & Replication now brings even more convenient tools, such as the file browser for quickly finding and restoring specific files, as well as new rotation settings that automatically remove old backup versions, keeping everything tidy and potentially freeing up storage space.

New security features
Protecting your data from prying eyes
Network and system security is an incredibly complicated topic, so Synology is devoted to creating a secure environment for you to safely store and share data, without worrying about it falling into the wrong hands.
SMB 3 encryption for secure transmissions
Support for SMB 3 encryption allows your DiskStation to secure file transfers to Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later, reducing the possibility of tampering and eavesdropping when data moves across your company's network. Protect your sensitive information without installing or spending resources on extraneous third-party encryption solutions.
Package profiles in AppArmor
By restricting malicious software from accessing unauthorized system resources, AppArmor minimizes the impact of potential attacks. In addition to system applications, AppArmor now supports profiles for packages, further strengthening your DiskStation against unknown threats.
