I like that the Apps BeeFiles and BeePhotos are streamlined names and UIs. DSM you have some Apps called DS (DS video, DS photo, DS finder, DS files, DS cam, etc… having the second word start with a lowercase letter really annoys me, should be DS Video, etc) and some called Synology (Synology Drive, Synology Photos, Synology Chat, etc) and then on the NAS some are called Station (Video Station, Etc) - In my view the Apps need a clean up with streamlined names and updates to all the UIs, at the moment it’s a bit of a mess.
It is so amazing how familiar and simple the interface looks, it is almost like a combination of Google drive and some flavor of Onedrive.
I was expecting “I hate seagulls!” 😅 They were certainly busy during your recording. Thanks for your review, really interesting and a NAS to watch. 😊
Today, in 2024, Synology still does not provide thumbnail support for more files, and in a sense, this kind of file management is backward.
I’d like to see the functionality expanded so that it doesn’t only feature apps and easy access to “files” and “photos” but also “videos” and “music” as the basic file types that anyone will want to use it for (surely?). Also, a 5TB backup account with Synology C2 service is WAY expensive (!) so we need to see access to other online backup services there as cheaper options, as 4 TB is a LOT to backup! That also goes for more variety in the cloud sync services that can be accessed too! 👍
Thanks for the video, is there still a Personal and Shared option on the photos app?
Beenology Disk Station 😁 I wish they have for sale in the US. It reminds me the old Pogo Plug Business model.
One point is a little unclear to me: If the local account is activated, will everything still be transmitted via the Internet if there is an Internet connection, or is the LAN preferred? This point would be very important to me, because I would not like to block my Internet bandwidth for local file transfers. Or is that what the SMB service is intended for?
Could one connect two separate BeeStations via USB? BTW... Great vid! Thank you
Could you confirm if BeePhotos/Synology Photos able to rate the JPG/RAW?
How do I get in in Canada?
Okay, what you would recommend is clear i guess, Would you recommend the 224+ or like the new terramaster over the beestation for a newbie who wants to backup things and use it as a storage 4 the surveillance system (not trusting ring or other services lol)? I am not sure if the way more expensive systems deliver for me but i am afraid the beestation is too limited? Thx in advance.
That's a tough call man. The Beestation is undeniably easy to use...but the low glass ceiling in terms of feature set out the door (at least at the time of writing) is painful. I would still definitely recommend a Synology, but maybe scale up to eg DS223, DS224+ or DS423, As you would be surprised how quickly that surveillance footage piles up! Plus, I would definitely vouch for 2GB of memory when it comes to surveillance and running alongside other tasks in DSM. Have a great weekend man
@@nascompares okay thx man. So it will be 224+ with 2 4Tb drives
I’m assuming it cannot be used with Plex - is that correct?
As it stands, no. There is no app store to install it, no container manager to host it or targetable storage (aside from SMB) usable to mount it via another host server. Sorry man, look at the DS124 instead, at least
weird that beefiles ui looks more sleek than synology drive
That......is bloody true. Tbh I kinda hope down the line that merge all these tools and create some synchronicity across DSM and BSM apps/services
Synology DSM is still the king 👑
They should have called it
BDSM = Bee Disk Station Manager 😂
Strap in! Gonna hear that joke alot
"Strap in", the mileage with this one is endless 😁 @@nascompares
Please focus on what the Bee station is designed to do and not winging on about what it what it doesn't do.
Why not both?
This device is hopeless, it works very slowly, it copies photos at a very low speed, after two days of not using it, I need a few minutes to preview the photos. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, WASTE OF TIME, NERVES AND MONEY.
I do not want apps. I do not want to work on the Beestation or NAS. I do not want to share. I just want to secure my date over 2 or more bays so I have a backup. So why must the NAS-ses in the market now are so complicated? Beestation (in a 2 or more bay-version) is my solution to go with!! (and do not go on and on and on on things YOU do not like. It becomes anoying to listen to!!)
There are things called Das's bud. (direct attached storage) that can be a lot simpler and just work direct or over LAN sounds like what you want.
two bays in a RAID 1 are NOT a backup. It just means if Drive 1 goes wrong, you can still access the data on Drive 2, BUT if you mistakenly delete a file, then it will be deleted from both drives.
In your case, simply buy two external USB Drives and mark them as 1D and 1W. Backup your data to 1D every day, then back up 1D to 1W every week. That way you will have 3 copies of the data, 1 on your PC, 2 on the daily backup and 3 on the weekly backup.
For maximum security, have another disk that you store away from home in case of a fire. Or use the cloud.
Umm.. "don't go on about things YOU don't like"..I mean, that's kinda the whole point of me reviewing this device on RUclips. I mean, I don't know what else you were expecting
The BeeStation is the only option I know that provides an easy e2e-encrypted backup to cloud or other mediums… and doesn’t waste the resources of your computer. And it helps synchronizing with other devices.
"I do not want apps. I do not want to work on the Beestation or NAS. I do not want to share. I just want to secure my date over 2 or more bays so I have a backup." - In that case, you can simply use the ideal product, which is the QNAP TR-002 (or the 4bay version TR-004) 👍
