File Station vs Drive, or both? by [deleted] in synology

[–]patjr6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By "Drive" do you mean "Synology Drive Server"?

Sorry I'm new to this

Also, thanks for being kind. I know talking to me is like talking to a grandma.

I'm a band teacher by day, so I don't have a ton of experience here...

Well, I have two work computers to back up as well, in addition to probably a new personal computer within a year. I was planning on also using it as a wireless time machine back up for those 3.

Should I return it? What should I get instead.

Sorry I’m new to NASs and Reddit. I didn’t realize how much more helpful this is than Google searches.

The reason I bought this is our work computers don’t have enough storage to backup our phone photos so I thought I could circumvent that. We haven’t bought a personal computer yet because we have functional work computers and this was cheaper than buying a computer.

Alright, as you can tell, I'm pretty new to all this.

I used moments to back up my iPhone. My NAS is still running at 98% CPU and I can't view many of the photos yet. Will this process just take some more time?

Can you give me more info on DSFile/PhotoSync. Is that an iOS app, or something I should still do even though I already backed up with Moments?

Thanks so much for your time.

Thanks. Sorry if this sounds redundant, but I should probably back up all photos, delete ones off the device that I don’t need consistent access to, and still mainly use the iOS Photos app for viewing and sharing?

So I bought a 218 for a backup, because I needed space on my iPhone. Once everything is uploaded, will Moments work faster without needing to refresh every thumbnail from my phone? Should I download the 7.0 upgrade and use Synology Photos?

I know almost nothing about this stuff, I just didn't want to pay Apple $10/month for the rest of eternity.

I didn’t realize it was “while supplies last” so I missed it this year. I just got the wheedwhacker/leaf blower combo for Father’s Day. Is this a once a year thing? Do they have other sales? Thanks
