You do not need to worry about all hard drives failing because your data are in the cloud. Setting up a public cloud is easy, just sign up an account, download the installer, and you are good to go. Dropbox is still a public cloud after all, and there might be some privacy concerns as a third party handles data.īoth public and private clouds have their pros and cons. I have been paying for Dropbox since 2011, and it has served me well. If it is out of your budget, you can consider getting two 2TB IronWolf instead at S$121 each, making the build S$491 (S$249 + 2x S$121). The 4TB IronWolf retails for S$184 on Lazada. Seagate has kindly sponsored me two IronWolf 4TB to go along with my DS220j. It doesn’t come with hard drives You just have to get two hard drives along with it. Synology DiskStation DS220j vs Synology DiskStation DS210jĪt S$249, the DS220j is affordable and a reasonable amount to spend if you are new to the Synology or NAS world. Ten years ago, I decided to switch to Synology DiskStation DS210j from D-Link DNS-323 and I have never looked back since. You should be fine after that, though.Synology DiskStation DS220j is an entry-level NAS from Synology targeting at users who wish to give Synology NAS a try or are new to the NAS world. That’s something you cannot expect from Synology, particularly at the initial setup stage. All you need is a Gmail account (which pretty much anyone using the internet has) and can get started in seconds. Synology Drive can’t even come close to Google’s ubiquity and general acceptance across various third-party tools and services - and not to forget its own services used by billions of users.Ĭonvenience is Google Drive’s strongest suit. Thanks to that, you certainly won’t be missing any individual feature in Synology Drive, but it’s the whole tightly-knit character of Google services that you’ll wish for. Synology has done a decent job of bringing over most of the essential features of Google Drive. What you’ll miss when switching from Google Drive In short, Synology Office is good for basic work, almost as much as Google Docs is, but it isn’t trying to replace more sophisticated tools like MS Office. And you have the option to export your files in. The good thing is that you have your basic formatting tools right where they belong, so you’ll feel at home. The editor screen is unsurprisingly also similar to Google Docs. But we’ll go further to set up sync and backup for the files on your computer. At this stage, you can start using Drive's web app and move files in other directories to it. Doing this will install the Drive app itself along with the admin console. Hit the install button under it and let it run until the process is done.
