An Official Client for Synology NAS Devices
Hi all,
I use Dropbox daily and I love it. As a part of my current setup, I sync the entirety of my Dropbox folder to my Synology NAS device, in order to have all of my data available to me loc...

I got naively started with CloudSync (Synology's app that offers basic syncing with Dropbox) and I too would LOVE this feature.
I too am working with huge video files, and, having been spoiled for years on Dropbox's highly intelligent backend, underestimated the difficulties of syncing a drive to the cloud. The main problem I have is that, when I move a file or folder on my NAS, it has to actually issue delete and upload commands to communicate to Dropbox, and vice versa if changes are done to the Dropbox server. (The obvious issue here is that I am tying up my bandwidth in both directions needlessly.) It seems obvious that it would work that way in retrospect, but again, I had just come to rely on Dropbox's magical properties.
I'm curently figuring out work arounds involving a competitor (Backblaze) because I need to be able to access the video files locally on the LAN, but also have the peace of mind of an off-site backup. I would love to do all of this inside of Dropbox, but the risk of duplication and accidental deletion is too great, with too many points of access to the file tree.
Thank you in advance for considering this!
