Cloud Sync keeps your Dropbox, Google Drive and Baidu storage in sync with your personal DiskStation cloud files at home.

Synology QuickConnect and Mobile Apps

For users whose network environment lacks a public IP address or the ability to configure port-forwarding, QuickConnect provides a relay service for you to access your DS115j from anywhere around the globe, even when it’s hidden in a local area network. With a customizable QuickConnect ID, you can log in to your DS115j via DSM browser interface, Synology desktop utilities, and mobile apps.

Available on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone platforms, DS photo+, DS audio, and DS video mobilize your Photo Station, Audio Station, and Video Station, potentially placing terabytes of content at your fingertips. On top of that, DS download makes it possible for you to manage and monitor your download tasks remotely while DS file allows you to manage the files stored on your DS115j.

Easy Setup and Management

Combined with a quick start wizard, users can simultaneously tour the DSM operating system while setting it up for initial use. For users unfamiliar with complicated router configurations or those who simply want to save time, the Synology EZ-Internet Wizard simplifies the process of setting up access to your DS115j via Internet. EZ-Internet Wizard walks you through all network settings including firewall, port-forwarding, PPPoE setup, and DDNS registration. The multi-tasking web interface of DSM allows users to run multiple applications simultaneously on one tab browser and switch between them seamlessly.
