My girlfriend of about 15 months (not living with me): Works as a video editor, from home, with some clients on the side. Her internet options are limited, especially the upload speeds. Being that she works with 4K videos, and collaborates a lot with editors outside of her internal network, she is constantly waiting for videos to download and upload.
Me: Project Manager, Network Engineer at an NYC MSP, with a Synology DS720+ at home, running Plex. A client office recently closed down, and I inherited a a DS918+.
The Goal: I want to give my current 720+ to my girlfriend to use as a cloud sync device, for quick local transfers and unattended synchronization to her cloud services (DropBox or OneDrive). I also need more storage for my Plex Server, so I would be repurposing the DS918+ for that.
Questions: Is Synology Drive able to do this, or would I need to implement an SMB share (she uses a mac) to take advantage of the Cloud Sync? Do you have any other ideas or stipulations about this?
Love your videos, thank you so much for your contributions to the community!
Sincerely,
Willard
