Synology Drive Starts a New Era of Working Together on Files

How Epis Technology Helps Companies Go Beyond Cloud Station

Businesses today don’t work out of just one office or device anymore. Teams work together from different places, time zones, and platforms, and they need to be able to access files quickly, safely, and reliably from anywhere. This change is exactly why Synology turned Cloud Station into Synology Drive and why more and more businesses depend on Epis Technology to set up, move, and improve these solutions for use in the real world.

We at Epis Technology help businesses turn Synology’s product improvements into safe, useful, and scalable places for people to work together.

Cloud Station to Synology Drive: An Important Change

Cloud Station was built on a simple but strong idea: data should be available from anywhere. Over the course of six years, it became a trusted private cloud solution for more than 1.6 million homes and offices. It allowed file synchronization, version history, and access from NAS servers, desktops, and mobile devices.

But as business processes changed, simple file syncing wasn’t enough anymore. Organizations needed to be able to work together in real time, have centralized control, and have a better user experience. Traditional file servers and old sync tools had a hard time providing these features.

To meet this next level of need, Synology Drive was made.

Working together is no longer an option

A lot of the time, teams today work on the same documents at the same time. They have to:

  • Get to files from anywhere
  • Work together in real time
  • Keep track of versions and keep things safe
  • Keep data in sync between offices and remote users

Synology Drive meets these needs by bringing together file access, synchronization, and collaboration into one portal. It lets centralized Synology NAS systems and multiple endpoints sync files without any problems for businesses with more than one office or teams that are spread out.

Epis Technology helps companies build and set up these environments so that working together boosts productivity without hurting security or performance.

How Epis Technology Makes Synology Drive for Business Possible

Synology Drive comes with a lot of great features right out of the box, but you need to plan ahead to make sure it works well for you. Epis Technology makes sure that Synology Drive is set up in a way that works with each company’s growth plans, compliance needs, and workflows.

Here are some of the things we do:

  • Planning to move from Cloud Station to Synology Drive
  • Design of user and permission architecture
  • Improving performance for big teams and datasets
  • Safe access from afar and syncing across multiple sites
  • Working with the current IT infrastructure

Epis Technology takes care of the hard parts so that businesses can focus on working together instead of setting things up.

Synology Drive 2.0: Ready for Business Use

The release of Synology Drive 2.0 added many new features to the platform, including ones that users had been asking for, such as:

  • On-demand sync to use less local storage
  • Backups that happen on a schedule to protect endpoints
  • Better performance and scalability
  • More ways to work together

These improvements turn Synology Drive from a simple syncing tool into a file server solution that businesses can use.

Epis Technology helps businesses plan upgrades with as little disruption as possible, making sure that everything stays the same and is stable for a long time. This is because Synology is moving development to Drive, which will officially replace Cloud Station in DSM 7.0.

Making the Move from Cloud Station Go Smoothly

Cloud Station will still get security updates on DSM 6.2 (LTS) until the end of its support window, which gives businesses time to get ready. But putting off migration can make it harder to use new features and work together.

Epis Technology helps businesses with:

  • Check how Cloud Station is being used right now
  • Think about how things will work together
  • Move to Synology Drive in stages
  • Teach users and IT teams how to use new workflows

This organized method lowers risk and makes the most of Synology Drive’s features.

The Big Picture: Working Together, Having Control, and Owning

Synology Drive lets businesses keep full control of their data while still allowing for modern collaboration. This is different from public cloud file-sharing platforms. When combined with Epis Technology’s knowledge, businesses get:

  • Collaboration in a private cloud without being locked in to a vendor
  • Costs and performance that can be counted on
  • Data access that is safe and follows the rules
  • Infrastructure that can grow with the business
