Synology Drive, Office, and Moments Redefine Collaboration
Synology Collaboration Tools: What They Are and How They Help Modern Businesses Store Data
Synology made a big change to how network-attached storage could be used in businesses in 2017. Synology Drive, Synology Office, and Synology Moments are now in beta. With these new releases, Synology has taken NAS platforms beyond just file storage and made them into complete systems for collaboration and data management. Learn about Synology Drive Server for enterprise file sync.
These packages were made to help businesses safely manage work files, documents, and media assets in a self-hosted environment. This way, they don’t have to rely on public cloud services that are spread out and can keep control of sensitive data.
Synology Drive lets you access files from one place
Synology Drive is a single file portal for businesses that use more than one device and work from more than one location. Explore how Synology Drive starts a new era of collaboration. IT teams keep control over storage, permissions, and data location, but employees can access files through web browsers, desktop file explorers, or mobile apps.
Users can manage their own work files in personal storage areas, and administrators can control team folders to help departments work together in a structured way. Windows, macOS, and Linux all have desktop synchronization that keeps frequently accessed data available locally without making copies of whole datasets. Learn why syncing isn’t enough, use the right backups.
For businesses that deal with a lot of data, connecting with Synology Universal Search makes it easy to find files quickly across shared repositories. This boosts productivity and cuts down on the time spent looking for information.
Synology Office lets you work on documents with other people in your office
Synology Office adds to the features of a NAS by letting people work together on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in real time right on the storage platform. Slides made the self-hosted office suite complete and ready for internal reporting, working on projects together, and sharing knowledge.
Without moving data outside the company, teams can work together at the same time, connect data between spreadsheets, set up custom ranges, and use layouts that can change. Layouts for documents that are easy to print also work with formal reporting and compliance processes.
If you’re worried about data sovereignty, Synology Office lets you work together in the cloud without giving up ownership or control of your business data.
Deep learning for smart media management
Synology Moments brought deep learning-based media organization directly to NAS systems. Photos uploaded from phones and tablets are automatically sorted by people, subjects, locations, and themes. This makes it easier to sort them by hand.
With advanced search, users can find images by using descriptive keywords instead of folder structures. Optimized image rendering speeds up performance, even when you have a lot of photos to manage. See a case study on enhancing digital content management efficiency.
This intelligence makes it easier to sort through media assets, documentation images, or internal archives for businesses while keeping the data safe on-site.
Why These Features Are Important for Business IT
Drive, Office, and Moments turned NAS from a passive storage device into an active collaboration platform. Businesses could now centralize files, work together in real time, and use smart data organization without having to use outside SaaS platforms. Explore intelligent collaboration with Synology Drive, Office, and Moments.
These features are very similar to what modern IT cares about, such as data governance, cybersecurity resilience, performance optimization, and scalable storage management.
