Hi on your recommendation I purchased this a couple of years ago. Iv done a duplicate files removal on the file analizer and removed the duplicate files. However it hasn't increased the capacity of my hard drives and there are still duplicate photos and other file's. Have i gone wrong somewhere. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks from a YouTube subscriber

Hi! There are a few options you can explore to manage and prevent duplicate files on your NAS.

Use a third-party app: You can use a third-party app like PhotoSync, FolderSync or Resilio Sync to automatically upload your photos and files to your NAS while also checking for duplicates. These apps can also organize your files in a structured manner, which makes it easier to find and access them.

Use a file management app: Synology has a few file management apps like File Station and Synology Drive that can help you organize and manage your files. These apps have built-in duplicate file finders that can help you identify and delete duplicate files.

Use a deduplication tool: You can also use a deduplication tool like DupScout or Anti-Twin to find and delete duplicate files on your NAS. These tools scan your NAS and identify files that have the same content, allowing you to delete one of the duplicates.

It's important to note that automatic duplicate detection and removal may not always be 100% accurate, so it's a good idea to periodically check for duplicates manually.
