  • Synology Drive does what you want, if you bought a Synology NAS. Look for the Synology Drive or DS Drive app for each of your operating systems.

    Whatever you’re using, I find it helpful so to setup Samba shares, since most operating systems can talk to it.

    Some command line utilities that you may wish to schedule, if not using a sync app:

    • I’ve heard great things about KDE Connect, which supports a bunch of platforms.

    • On Windows: robocopy.exe

    • On Linux: rsync

    • On Mac: rsync

    • On Android: I don’t have a non-Synology favorite, right now. KDE Connect looks promising.

    • On iPhone: I’ve heard of these “eyes” phones. People seem to like them…

    Edit: I see you have Syncthing. Disregard the above.

    For NAS to NAS backups, I do prefer RSync.













  • I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.

    Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:

    • Netflix advertisements.
    • Zoom mandates staff return to offices.
    • Microsoft forgets what the “P” in “PC” stands for.
    • Toys R Us implements a shitty holiday gift returns policy.
    • Sears decides to sacrifice reputation for quarterly stock price gains.
    • Walgreens decides bottom-of-the-barrel incompetent pharmacists can uphold their “get it all done in one visit” secret sauce.
    • Radio Shack decides that once-every-two-years cellphone contract sales are the future for holding passionate electronics hobbyists’ loyalty.
