We can also specify whether we want a secure SSL connection or not. Starting with the Cloud Station Backup we only need the server name and login information.
Both apps require a minor initialization before you can forget about having them running. Using the links provided through the Cloud Station Server, I downloaded and installed the Cloud Station Backup and Drive apps. Our server part is configured and set up, but we haven’t had a look at the client side yet.

Windows Applications: Cloud Station Backup and Cloud Station Drive There isn’t’ much to be found here, but they’re vital settings to have access to. The main Cloud Sync app settings are found at the bottom next to the Add Cloud Provider button and open up the overall sync settings. Depending on your type of internet connection and sync jobs, you’ll want to limit this so you don’t bottleneck everything else on your network that tries to get out. Two of the most important settings are found in the actual settings tab and those are the polling period and the traffic control. The settings are for each Cloud connection and you can as always edit any of the information at any point, create new tasks, or delete old ones. As you might already have spotted in the screenshot below, you can add more cloud services with different rules to use for different scenarios. When Cloud Sync is running, you can keep a constant eye on it through the top DSM taskbar. You don’t need to remember any path or folder names on either side of this configuration, you can easily browse both sides from the setup where you also can set the sync direction. You might be prompted for permission access to the service you’re connecting to during the setup, which is a logical security setting. I already have a Google Drive account with plenty of storage space available, so it is the obvious choice to use for my tests. The list of supported companies and services is as long as it ever has been and we got Microsoft OneDrive and Office365, HiDrive, and Amazon S3 on top of the already long list. You can also use Cloud Sync in order to further sync your files with public cloud providers on top of your own personal cloud. That was the server part, but we’re far from done with DSM’s cloud features. You can create Sync profiles and assign them to specified users too. Most settings are handled by the jobs you set rather than the server itself that the jobs are running in. There are a few settings you can change, but they aren’t many. Synology has done a great job with all these Station apps and they look better than ever before. Keeping an eye on the version history is just as easy as anything else – it’s so straight forward to use that it barely needs an explanation. The event log can be easily filtered and searched to find the relevant matches. We’ll get to the apps themselves in a little bit. I’ve already installed the apps on my system and added sync targets, which explains the already populated log file below. The server provides a quick view of connected devices, what users are connected from them and what type of client they’re using. You can expand the functionality even further with the extra Cloud Station ShareSync app from the DSM package center.

The first page you see when opening the Cloud Station Server is the Overview page which shows the current status along with download links for the companion apps. To use the Cloud Station you need to have set up your QuickConnect ID first, but we already did that initially so we’re all set.
