Yes, this is a common problem in IT industry. No one seems to explain what NAS is in simple terms. How it works exactly and how easy it is to use. All people see is a black box.
So the most popular app you get with Synology NAS is their Photo app. This automates all photo and video backup from your phones similar to Google or Amazon photos.
The second most important app is Synology Drive which is very similar to Dropbox and Gdrive. On top of that, you can also backup any folder on your computer or mobile device not just sync the folder contents on both devices.
The third important function is Time Machine and Windows System Image backups.
In general, you can look at the NAS similar to USB drive. But instead of connecting it to a single computer or other devices, you connect it to your router. Now it becomes available across your home network. And if you choose so - also over the internet.
Almost forgot to mention that NAS can also be turned into Netflix media server using Plex or Video station app.
