Currently, you are using Dropbox and periodically backing up to a 2TB G Technology Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Considering your requirements and the need for flexibility between your home and office locations, a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device could be a suitable option. Synology offers versatile NAS solutions, and the DS273+ and DS220+ are both viable choices. The DS273+ provides more powerful hardware with four drive bays, expandable memory, and additional features like video transcoding and virtualization support. On the other hand, the DS220+ is a cheaper option with two drive bays. Both models have the functionality to link with Dropbox and enable cloud sync, which can be advantageous for your workflow. Given your competence in setting up tech, you should be able to handle the NAS setup effectively.
Thank you, that’s great. I think after looking further into it, my options would be DS418, DS423+, DS723+ - Any recommendations between these, as I think I'm swaying towards the DS723+. I think the DS923+ is a little out of budget. Ideally after the best option for money.
