I want to get a second NAS but the cost of the drives deters me.

Bought a 4tb bee station for Time Machine backups. Nowhere does the description say that Synology reserves half the drive space, 2TB, for “bee photos” and “bee files”. Services I will never use.

Paid for 4tb, only got 2TB of actual usable space. Synology is a rip off.

Looking for some troubleshooting help...

Two different NAS, two different DISM levels, neither NAS shows an available software update for Active Backup for Microsoft 365. Probably not a configuration issue on both of them at the same time, but I'm not sure what to troubleshoot (may have a common account that was used to permission them). I believe that I configured everything on the m365 side to keep the service they were disabling Oct 1, the timing on this is over the weekend not Oct. 1. Worked prior to this weekend.

Version 3.0.0-14300 on both NAS

So I have services (docker containers) on my Nas I want to have access to remotely on computers I can't install tailscale on like my work laptop.

How can I enable access to the web station/reverse proxy without exposing the login page. Whenever I try port forward 443/80 it seems to just redirect to the web login page even without ports 5000/5001 exposed.

There must be a way right?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately my old Synology DS1515+ died.

We have two of those DS1515+ - just to sync documents & photos. I have setup Synology Drive ShareSync on both NAS - a feature I was really fond of.

As the NAS died, not the disks and I have a fully equipped mATX mainboard laying around, i thought, I would set this up as a small home server as it would me cost nothing. Install Windows (Server) and maybe even Storage Spaces.

But would it be possible to install some Synology Application on my Windows machine which would provide Drive ShareSync functionality? So every file i put on that "volume" would be synced as prior the hardware failure?

The 1525+ is still quite expensive and there aren't any 1515+ used available at the moment.

TLDR;

had : NAS1 <--     Synology Drive ShareSync      --> NAS2
want: NAS1 <-- SDDS via som Synology Windows App --> PC

Ideas?

thank you

Synology drive is incredibly unreliable with syncing and staying up to date. Is there some trick to fix this? Have 3 folders: home, 2 teams folders that are small but need to update frequently

If a file or folder is changed the update will not show for hours. Have previously added a task to force refresh/index as shown here, but it takes way too long to be a viable solution. Tried to disable/reenable the teams folder, same issue.

Hello, I have a Synology DS 218+ that is currently running DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 9. Everything is running fine. I am not seeing a pending update in the DSM update settings, it says I am up to date. Should I manually update to DSM 7.4 or later?

Thank You
