Secure data transfer
Credential encryption and 2-step verification
Login credentials are secured in a dedicated TLS/TCP encrypted channel. The 2-step verification protects your credentials from attacks by malicious third parties and viruses.
File transfer encryption
Presto’s desktop client supports AES-128 encryption, ensuring bulk data remain highly secured as they transfer.
SSL verification
Synology Presto Client includes SSL verification to prevent users from connecting to phishing sites with untrusted SSL certificates, keeping the connection secure and safeguarding sensitive data.
Simply add new tabs in Synology Presto Client to connect to several Presto File Servers. There is no need to remember server addresses and credentials, which are automatically saved. Transfers can be prioritized on Task Manager, and detailed logs keep a record of recent account activities on different servers. Easily transfer files by dragging and dropping them between Presto and Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder, or by using native hotkey combinations to copy, paste, rename, or delete files.
Rapid, automated NAS-to-NAS file transfer
Transferring large files between multiple sites can take a long time. Schedule high-speed transfers across multiple sites with Synology Presto's Site Express. It automates file distribution by triggering the file transfers from one NAS to another, while its intuitive interface allows you to view the status at a glance.
Flexible resource management
Synology Presto Client is an optimal solution for exchanging files between your PC and Synology NAS.
Dispatch and monitor resources
Set transfer task priority in Task Manager, or limit the number of concurrent file transfers to let priority tasks fully utilize available bandwidth. Keep track of events from different accounts and servers through activity logs.
Flexible bandwidth control
Adjust bandwidth directly in Presto Client according to local needs. Set maximum and minimum bandwidth for file transfers to better predict the required transfer time and manage available bandwidth.
Smart compression
Presto Client can adapt to different data types and environments. For instance, when transferring data that are incompressible, it disables the compression function to save computing resources on the host.
Automating high-speed transfer
Automate high-speed transfers according to your needs with command-line interface support and the Synology Presto Automator
Customizable transfer experience
Use scripts to customize the way you want to transfer data (Download Presto CLI Manual)
Multiple ways to schedule
Schedule tasks to be transferred or have them triggered by events.
We are very satisfied with the high and stable transfer speed Presto File Server has delivered, it has fully replaced our previous transfer tools. And with its flexibility in VDSM deployment and Btrfs file system support, now we are able to consolidate all the services to one single server in a storage-efficient fashion. Truly an all-in-one solution may I say.
