I was on a hurry last time I tried it, I will give it another go tomorrow. Configuring it requires setting up accounts for each user and then installing a client on each user's machine. You would have to manually drag and drop files into a Qsync folder for it to sync with the NAS or have them created there in the first place.
Qsync which as far as I could figure was more of a Dropbox type of service that would run on your NAS.
QNAP FOLDER SYNC HOW TO
I downloaded various utilities developed by QNAP for sync jobs however I couldn't figure out how to make them work.
The NAS is running something called QTS a QNAP proprietary OS which also has an appstore. While googling I found out this is called setting up " a sync job". That means if the 3D modeler makes a modification on a file in the designated folder on his computer then as soon as he saves that modification in the file, the copy on the NAS is updated with the just modified version. What I am trying to do is find a way to configure the local computers on the network and the NAS in the following way:Ĭertain designated local folders on each employee machine to be real time synced to the copy on the NAS. Not only is this an extraordinarily tedious job but it is also very dangerous thus I offered to find and set up a way for this task to be performed automatically in real time by the computer. This is how the exact copy stored n the NAS is created/maintained :Īt the end of the working day, the 3D modeler goes in the folder on his computer, sorts by "Date Modified" and copies everything that was modified that day then goes in the shared folder on the NAS and he pastes and replaces the respective files. All the folders on this NAS are shared folders to which everyone on the network has access. On the same network with this laptop, is a QNAP TS 231 NAS that has an identical copy of my father's colleague's 3D models folder among other valuable folders which contain various company documents. One of his colleagues works as a 3D modeler and has this folder on his laptop where he keeps all of the company's 3D files for all their projects. My father let me help him solve a tech problem at his office.
