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.
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.
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.

Overall, I'm happy with it's performance.. reliable, accessible. Now I can keep all my files in a well organised way.
I mainly bought this drive for cloud storage and file sharing and syncing the file the same time. It works as It's aims for. The most useful for me is I can even use at work. Some of the cloud storage like Dropbox is restricted to use at our workplace for safety reasons. It didn't allow me to reach to the site. But with synology, I can easily access my file from anywhere. The mobile drive is also user friendly and I am happy with my purchase.
It would be better if they allow all types of file to view and edit without downloading. Another thing is I think it should be simpler means of viewing the file by double clicking it. When you use computer for so long, I am sure most agree with me.. double clicking the left button of the mouse mean opening the file. But with synology files, it means downloading! It happened so many times with me. Such a painful and waste my time.

An app that just works, is free and easy to setup and use day by day, and looks good too. The users can access it from mobile and desktop apps or a nice and intuitive WebUI, so the migration from other similar platforms is pretty easy and straightforward. The added privacy comes at the cost of the time needed to properly set up your own environment and especially security, but this shouldn’t sto you from using this solution instead of free products that do not respect your privacy as much.
This is a great piece of software. It’s quick and easy to set up and deploy, but at the same time it’s not lacking on features and it has a pretty UI too. User-side, it’s easy to use and with an intuitive and familiar UI so it’s easy to navigate and learn without the need for much assistance. I’m using it in a simple environment but it’s easy to see its robustness. This of course provided that the admin can navigate the more complex NAS and network setup, but if you’re considering Synology Drive you probably have already it in place or have at least a grasp of what you are doing.
I am sometimes experiencing a bug/glitch with “team folders” not being properly accessible from the web, but it could be very well an user error. “Team folders” is the only small part of the UI which isn’t as intuitive as the others, despite it being clearly named the setup is not as simple and clear as it could have been. However this is a very small issue, and that confirms that the app is solid enough, at least for a simple environment.

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.
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.
There is nothing to dislike about Synology Drive
