It\u2019s helpful for collaboration and cuts down on the amount of storage you need to buy for each employee in a media workflow. But if your teams are geographically dispersed, a NAS device at each location will also allow you to sync specific folders across offices and protect the data in them with more reliable and non-duplicative workflows. By setting up an integrated cloud storage tier and using Synology <strong>Drive ShareSync<\/strong>, <strong>Cloud Sync<\/strong>, and <strong>Hyper Backup<\/strong>\u2014all free tools that come with the purchase of your NAS device\u2014you can improve your collaboration capabilities further, and simplify and strengthen data protection for your NAS.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Drive ShareSync:<\/strong> Synchronizes folders and files across linked NAS devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud Sync:<\/strong> Copies files to cloud storage automatically as they\u2019re created or changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyper Backup:<\/strong> Backs up file and systems data to local or cloud storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taken together, these tools, paired with a reasonable and reliable cloud storage, will grow your remote collaboration capacity while better protecting your data. Properly architected, they can make sharing and protecting large files easy, efficient, and secure for internal production, while also making it all look effortless for external clients\u2019 approval and final delivery.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll break out how it all works in the sections below.

For creative agencies and corporate video groups that work with high volumes of video and images, syncing data to the cloud on ingest protects the data while it\u2019s active and sets up an easy way to archive it once the project is complete. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>1. After a multiple day video or photo shoot, upload the source media files to your Synology NAS. When new media files are found on the NAS, Synology Cloud Sync makes a copy of them to cloud storage.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>2. While the team works on the project, the copies of the media files in the cloud storage bucket serve as a backup in case a file is accidentally deleted or corrupted on the NAS.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>3. Once the team completes the project, you can switch off Synology Cloud Sync for just that folder, then delete the raw footage files from the NAS. This allows you to free up storage space for a new project.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>4. The video and photo files remain in the bucket for the long term, serving as archive copies for future use or when a client returns for another project.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_96826\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-96826\" style=\"width: 1176px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96826\" style=\"box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #666666;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1176\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1.png 1176w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1-1024x608.png 1024w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1-768x456.png 768w, https:\/\/backblazeprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image3-1-560x332.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1176px) 100vw, 1176px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-96826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can configure Synology <strong>Cloud Sync<\/strong> to watch folders for new files in specific time periods and control the upload speed to prevent saturating your internet connection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Using <strong>Cloud Sync<\/strong> for Content Review With External Clients<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud Sync can also be used to simplify and speed up the editorial review process with clients. Emailing media files like videos and high-res images to external approvers is generally not feasible due to size, and setting up and maintaining FTP servers can be time consuming for you and complicated or confusing for your clients. It&#8217;s not an elegant way to put your best creative work in front of them. To simplify the process, create content review folders for each client, generate a link to a ZIP file in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/b2\/docs\/quick_bucket.html\">a bucket<\/a>, and share the link with them via email.<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Your NAS Data With Synology <strong>Hyper Backup<\/strong> and Backblaze B2<\/h3>\n<p>Last, but not least, Synology <strong>Hyper Backup<\/strong> can also be configured to do weekly full backups and daily incremental backups of all your NAS data to your cloud storage bucket.

It also offers flexible retention settings, which allow you to restore an entire shared folder from different points in time.
