File Station

See Product Specification for the applied models.

The Synology File Station is a web-based file organizer that allows users to remotely access and manage files using a browser. As such, internet file sharing no longer requires advanced FTP knowledge. The Synology File Station also increases the file transfer efficiency among shared folders. Files no longer require routing through your computer. Data can now be transferred in mere seconds.
