Synology

Whenever we talk about Synology, its top consumer NAS enclosures usually come to mind. While the hardware does play an important role in network storage, it’s the software that defines your experience. And Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM) is among the most feature-packed NAS operating systems out there. After its major facelift last year, DSM 7.2 is the next big update, brimming with features that users have been asking for a long time. Here is everything you need to know about DSM 7.2.

Synology NAS lets you create private cloud storage, which you can use to store, access, back up, and share your files freely and securely. The benefit of using a Synology NAS service over others is that it gives you access to several first-party apps that make it easy to create your private cloud and access the data from any device you own.

When it comes to photo management, no other app comes close to Google Photos. It's ahead of everything else with its many smart features that work as advertised. Even many iOS users cannot live without Google Photos. However, it was a different story when Google decided to charge a monthly fee for something that was previously free, and not many people were happy with this change.

NAS systems have long been common appliances in businesses and the homes of cable cutters. They’ve grown even more popular over the last few years as many professionals shifted to working from home, while others have chosen to move their files to private storage rather than rely on cloud services. Synology’s new DS1522+ is a high-performance model designed for small businesses, video editors, and many data hoarders.
