It's never a good time to migrate and less so when people are forced to be away from the office so you should read up on this first. I can still use the iOS DS cloud app if I need even though all other agents, apps, and server are the newer Drive ones. Synology Drive server package replaces Cloud Station on the NAS but it is still using the same underlying mechanisms/ports and Cloud Station agents and apps still work with Drive server. One thing I haven't tested is how sub-folder permissions are handled by Drive as I have no need for these to be different than those inherited from the shared folder. I'm 99% sure I've remembered this correctly maybe 98%. Those DSM users/admin that have read/write also have read/write via Drive and those with DSM read-only have Drive read-only.

If I remember right when I was testing it then the DSM shared folder's file permissions still persisted within Drive.įor example, I include /music as a Team Folder with 0 history versions: it's not where I keep the main music library but do have audiobooks, ebooks, and lo-res music so that people can download them to mobile phones. Some of us had to go to the office through it all, others of us started working from home, and maybe still are, but whatever our personal circumstances, the wor.With Synology Drive you can setup Team Folders.

I hate to just toss them in the landfill!Thanks in advance! We switched to Nextiva from Shoretel (mistake) and now have 40-50 shoretel/mitel phones taking up needed office space.

I am looking for an antivirus solution for a school with approx 30 staff laptop users. Why did you not put Synology Drive on the blocking list of the endpoint protection solution in order to enforce the ban of Synology Drive?.Why did you rollout Synology Drive when you don't want it?.

I've no idea why you now mention Synology Drive. Yes, Synology has that capability builtin, as Gary had already answered. Jakeswagen wrote:Does Synology have this capability? But I would expect that Synology Drive is an application to bypass this serialization you prefer. You didn't mention neither which Office solution you use in which configuration, with support for collaboration or not, and if collaboration supported, if this feature has been disabled by GPOs or group policies. So using Synology without an application like Synology Drive will do what you asked and if not enabling collaboration in your Office solution. Your original post described parts of what you want and did not mention Synology Drive. Thanks for the helpful reply - If Synology Drive cannot provide that feature then that has pretty much answered my question.


I found a thread from 2yrs ago where a similar question was asked, but there wasn't a definitive answer - Opens a new window

I know a service such as Dropbox for business has this feature, however it's £10/user/month.which imo is too expensive to roll out to even 10-15 users, let alone even more. We would also ideally like a popup notification to be presented to the user when they attempt to open a file locked for editing, preferably also informing them of who has the file open. One requirement is we must avoid conflicting changes when opening/ saving files across all users so if one user has a document open for editing we do not want to allow another user to open the same document for editing regardless of whether they are working locally or remotely. We will be hosting shared folders on there for users to store and access Microsoft Office documents, these documents will need to be accessed by both internal users (on the same LAN as the Synology drive server), and also be accessed by remote users and home workers. We are looking for a file sharing/ backup solution and would like to implement a Synology system as it has many of the features we are looking for with regards to data backup/ redundancy etc.
