After surfing around a lot on the qnap forum as well as here I havent found a suitable solution for real bidirectional / 2-way sync between a folder on the qnap and its pendant on an android device (or windows...).
Qnap support says "our devices cant do that"
The goal:
I want to keep special folders on my android devices (eg. /mydocuments) in sync with my NAS - and access them from my computer eg. via samba.
The "old" solution:
[Android] <-- App "Dropsync" --> [ Dropbox Account (i know...)] <-- Clouddrivesync App --> [NAS] <-- "SMB" --> [PC]
Well so I pulled up Qsync for this "new" solution:
[Android] <-- "App Qsync" --> [NAS] <-- "QsyncClient" --> [PC]
But this solution has several drawbacks:
1. It seems that I cannot access the Qsync Folder via Samba - but ok, there is the Windowsclient. So I have to store that data locally on the PC too, but who cares.
2. Qsync doesnt seem to do REAL 2-way sync: When I create a file on android, it ends up on the NAS as planned. but when I delete that file (either on android OR NAS) it does NOT delete the file on the other device. I found the switch "intelligent delete" but that doesnt seem to do that trick.
I started googling and found GoodSync, Syncrify, Unison etc.
Thats the point where I wanted to ask you folks - and especially Qoolbox *g*: What is your solution to keep your mobiles files in sync with your NAS?
