The services have gotten better over the years, but often leave room for improvements or have syncing issues, less now than in previous years. > > **Cons**: Reliability is not always there, granted things have gotten better over the past year or so. Sometimes it appears as though it's syncing, but it is not. > > For the most part, this offers you a good option to host your own data, allow it to sync to your preferences and not need to pay another cloud solution provider or trust them with your data. ----- ### "Excellent - powerful but simple to setup and use" — 4.0/5 > **Davide** | *18 June 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great piece of software. It’s quick and easy to set up and deploy, but at the same time it’s not lacking on features and it has a pretty UI too. User-side, it’s easy to use and with an intuitive and familiar UI so it’s easy to navigate and learn without the need for much assistance. I’m using it in a simple environment but it’s easy to see its robustness. This of course provided that the admin can navigate the more complex NAS and network setup, but if you’re considering Synology Drive you probably have already it in place or have at least a grasp of what you are doing. > > **Cons**: I am sometimes experiencing a bug/glitch with “team folders” not being properly accessible from the web, but it could be very well an user error. “Team folders” is the only small part of the UI which isn’t as intuitive as the others, despite it being clearly named the setup is not as simple and clear as it could have been. However this is a very small issue, and that confirms that the app is solid enough, at least for a simple environment. > > An app that just works, is free and easy to setup and use day by day, and looks good too. The users can access it from mobile and desktop apps or a nice and intuitive WebUI, so the migration from other similar platforms is pretty easy and straightforward. The added privacy comes at the cost of the time needed to properly set up your own environment and especially security, but this shouldn’t sto you from using this solution instead of free products that do not respect your privacy as much. ----- ### "Very good solution for self storage" — 5.0/5 > **Daniele** | *5 November 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simply interface for end user, high security > > **Cons**: Cost per Gigabyte compared to full self hosted solution ----- ### "Free Storage Drive" — 4.0/5 > **Amjad** | *30 March 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: when you buy a Synology appliance you can take advantage of the features for free, one of them is Synology Drive and you can create an unlimited number of Synology Drive accounts, and the Drive Server setup is amazing and very friendly. > > **Cons**: I see that sometimes there is some lag in data transferring and after the diagnostic, we found that the CPU and the RAm on the Synology appliance are full of use. we cant update the CPU so we have to replace the device with an upper series. > > Synology Drive is great for small and medium businesses, with unlimited capacity and with an unlimited number of users, all that on-premise and one-time pay. ----- ### "The best cloud storage and file sharing application" — 5.0/5 > **Hammam** | *15 April 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In my company, we use Synology devices in each location and each project as a server, I like all the features in Synology Drive, it is fast and secure with great backup and sharing features. I like the mobile application it is very easy to use and user-friendly. > > **Cons**: There is nothing to dislike about Synology Drive > > we have been using Synology Drive for more than 5 years without any problems. We have many Synology devices that are used as servers and we use Synology to backup our data to the C2 storage cloud, we use Synology Drive to share files. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1015971/synology-drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1015971/synology-drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
