It appears that the issue you are facing with Synology Drive not syncing the contents three levels deep could be due to the number of files you are trying to sync exceeding the recommended amount for your Synology NAS model. Each NAS model has a specific limit on the total number of files that can be synced simultaneously. To resolve this, you can check the product spec page for your current NAS model to find the recommended file limit for syncing.
If the number of files you wish to sync exceeds this recommended limit, it may be affecting the processing performance of Synology Drive, leading to longer syncing times and delayed responses. To address this, you can try the following steps:
Go to File Station, right-click on the folder that is not syncing, and select Properties to view the number of files it contains.
If the number of files exceeds the recommended limit, consider disabling some folders in Synology Drive Admin Console to reduce the number of files being synced and lessen the server workload.
Review your folder structure and sync rules, and only sync the necessary folders to reduce the server workload. You can move unneeded folders and files to a shared folder that is not assigned as a team folder by Synology Drive Admin Console.
Alternatively, you mentioned considering an upgrade to the QNAP 423+ or a similar model. Before making the switch, it's essential to verify the file-syncing capabilities of the QNAP NAS models to ensure they can handle the number of files you wish to sync effectively. Additionally, ensure that the client software on QNAP NAS provides the ability to keep some files offline on client devices when needed, similar to how it works on Dropbox.
