There is no monthly subscription: I paid for the NAS device once, and storage capacity is whatever I decide to add. It works on Mac, iPhone, and in the browser, so I can access everything remotely without giving up control. > > **Cons**: The initial setup takes real time, especially configuring remote access and permissions correctly. Contractors cannot use it reliably. They forget the password, lose access, and fixing that takes more time than the work itself. It’s more efficient to use a Google Drive for shared files with external team. > > This is my default workspace for everything I am actively building. The moment someone else needs access, I switch to Google Drive. For solo work, Synology Drive is where everything lives. ----- ### "Synology Drive - constantly improving" — 4.0/5 > **Caleb** | *21 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Synology drive allows us to access our files on the go and is similar to other offerings like Google Drive and the like. The services have gotten better over the years, but often leave room for improvements or have syncing issues, less now than in previous years. > > **Cons**: Reliability is not always there, granted things have gotten better over the past year or so. Sometimes it appears as though it's syncing, but it is not. > > For the most part, this offers you a good option to host your own data, allow it to sync to your preferences and not need to pay another cloud solution provider or trust them with your data. ----- ### "Free Storage Drive" — 4.0/5 > **Amjad** | *30 March 2023* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: when you buy a Synology appliance you can take advantage of the features for free, one of them is Synology Drive and you can create an unlimited number of Synology Drive accounts, and the Drive Server setup is amazing and very friendly. > > **Cons**: I see that sometimes there is some lag in data transferring and after the diagnostic, we found that the CPU and the RAm on the Synology appliance are full of use. we cant update the CPU so we have to replace the device with an upper series. > > Synology Drive is great for small and medium businesses, with unlimited capacity and with an unlimited number of users, all that on-premise and one-time pay. ----- ### "The best cloud storage and file sharing application" — 5.0/5 > **Hammam** | *15 April 2023* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In my company, we use Synology devices in each location and each project as a server, I like all the features in Synology Drive, it is fast and secure with great backup and sharing features. I like the mobile application it is very easy to use and user-friendly. > > **Cons**: There is nothing to dislike about Synology Drive > > we have been using Synology Drive for more than 5 years without any problems. We have many Synology devices that are used as servers and we use Synology to backup our data to the C2 storage cloud, we use Synology Drive to share files. ----- ### "The Best Tool for All Types of Business" — 5.0/5 > **Ahmad** | *7 December 2022* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Synology Drive is the best tool for all business types, the data storage, sharing, and security are great. It is cheap and practical with great performance and synchronization. You can control the permissions easily. And you can use it on any operating system Windows, MAC, IOS, or Android without any high requirements. > > **Cons**: Synology Drive is great software and there is nothing I dislike, we don't have any problems or bugs and everything is working perfectly. > > We have used Synology Drive for more than two years on daily bases (24/7) and everything is great, it is working perfectly with more than 50 users. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1015971/synology-drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1015971/synology-drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
